I believe it is likely true but come on.....how can he be credible?

"He now serves as vice president of strategy and governmental affairs for D-Fend Solutions, which supplies counter-drone equipment to the U.S. military, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice and other clients."

You shouldn't fly a Drone over any military installation BUT
I must ask the government, If all one needs to do is fly a Mavic over the base to spy on your latest tech, and I am new to all this Top secret stuff ..BUT I would think that you could send a few Privates on down to the Walmart for a few sheets or a tarp perhaps.
Just sayin

The Russians could have used a few of those tarps to better disguise their military aircraft. Old tires on the wings might work for disguising them from enemy satellite surveillance, but not from FPV kamikaze drones! LOL!

No-one is unwittingly working for China.
This completely laughable myth has been around nearly as long as recreational drones have.
And still no-one has been able to prove that it's happening.
But that's not the point which is to scare folks into thinking that it happens.

If you want to imagine intelligence gathering consumer electronics in America, consider cellphones. Essentially every person on every military base, power plant, and industrial facility in the United States carries one and they're powered on and communicating with cellular networks continuously and usually via wi-fi and Bluetooth. Most are broadcasting their location continuously. All those devices are either foreign made or have major foreign made components.

When the Secretary of Defense shared classified attack plans for the strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and insurgents in Yemen with his wife, a journalist, and his personal attorney, he used a cell phone, not a drone.

If you are they'll send you a W-2 or 1099 just like the one we get at self checkout.

And he was using an app with end-to-end encryption. But if you invite a member of the press to join a secure chat, that defeats the purpose of security,

Come on, I can't be the only one getting a check from the Chinese government each month for all the videos of parks and lakes I take.
