NYT ?? The link is to a Washington Post article. Behind a paywall for me. But I'd be surprised if it was something besides DJI gear used.

I think it's the same old math; pocket lining. Facts and policy need not apply.

A lot of units were sold in the US by Adorama. Other units are making there way in via Korea and Japan. The M4P is approved for sale in the US. It's just political (illegal) use of the gov't (Customs) preventing DJI from direct sales in the US. I would sleep perfectly well at night...

One way is to take a little trip north to Canada and pick up one and bring it home. Creator combo goes for about $3600 You might need to remove it from the retail packaging to avoid duties.

There is no way a phone made in China could be a security threat, right?

Facts ^^ You guys are commenting as if there will be a serious, unbiased review of the the facts. That is not what this is about at all. If it were about the facts of a possible security threat, or not, it would have been settled years ago. This is about hardball lobbying, and fear of tech...
