If DJI drones are prevented from using the USA's communication structure, how will that impact them?

I asked about this a while ago, and was told there's nothing to worry about. Simple question: if this becomes law will our drones still be able to fly?

The only facts they listen to are polls. So if the public perceives that banning drones is good and will help them politically, they'll do it. Facts have nothing to do with it. Nor does reality.

Great, but that might get kinda boring. ;-)

Just a thought: if flying a drone was a felony, would you still fly yours?

I know that, but the whole purpose of this legislation is to prevent that, right? And the government believes that info is being passed, right? So how will this bill prevent that in their eyes? Not arguing, just discussing. None of this makes sense to me.

Makes no sense to me, really. If they want to prevent DJI from passing into to the Chinese government allowing all existing drones to continue flying totally defeats that goal. I'm hoping this idiotic bill dies on the vine.

I read that they would ban DJI products from using the comm infrastructure. That would ground us.

Chicken Little just saw the DJI ban pass the House. Hard to believe it made it this far, but "China paranoia" in the US is reaching epic levels. Anything is possible.

Seems to be getting a bit of play in an election year, but could they really ground all of us? https://apnews.com/buyline-shopping/article/dji-drone-ban-in-the-us#:~:text=A%20bill%20named%20the%20Countering,House%20of%20Representatives%20this%20summer.

Probably some truth to that, but I don't really know. As close as it is to me I have no contact with anyone who lives there. "Glampers Ghetto" Now that's funny.

Some do, but really, for most here it's a permanent home.

Not sure, but there must be something there related to "cockpit."
