Digital Flight Authorization for drones?

[mavic3usa]

Are you aware of what is Digital Flight Authorization?

I'll leave forgo my opinions on this other than to mention these are the issues that I have been talking about for years and you should know what your central government is saying, thinking, discussing, legislating, and being lobbied about when it comes to your consumer drones. 9/11 continues to impact our lives.

This is not me and it's not my video but I'll leave it here for you to watch on your own time when you get a chance.

Am I missing something here, can’t people with nefarious intentions build a drone without rfid technology that would not succumb to the Government’s “kill switch”?

If so, isn’t this similar to more gun laws. It only hurts the law abiding, but doesn’t slow up the criminal. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be regulations, but where does one draw the line.

I already look up tfr’s daily, get laanc approval when needed and call the local non emergency number as a courtesy call. What if I want to drop by my local park and fly for 20 minutes between appointments, am I going to need authorization from the new Gov system? How long will that take?

The Patriot Act is rearing its ugly head AGAIN!

The bill referenced in that video, H.R. 3334, is for the United States Capitol Police, for the protection of the facilities and assets protected by the USCP.

This is a limited bill with limited scope. It only covers the USCP and the grounds that they protect.

If someone with "nefarious intentions" built a drone without RID, the USCP would still take down the drone. There's no "kill switch" in RID. Get a skilled operator and a faster drone, and the other one is going down.

Nothing that firearm owners haven't been facing for over 90 years. Fortunately, we have several strong organizations supporting us whereas the drone community has almost no one. Hold on to your shorts.

It is very unfortunate, but in my opinion, I have to agree with the previous post; this is only going to hurt/affect those who are already abiding by the rules.
