Trump wants capability to track, hack and destroy drones
By: PCMag.com via AP, May 25, 2017
Pressure is clearly mounting on drone makers to control the unauthorized flying of their products. Only yesterday, DJI announced its intention to severely restrict the functionality of its drones until an owner's details are registered. But the Trump administration is looking to go a step further. It wants the federal government to have the power to track, hack and destroy any drone it sees as a threat.
A draft summary of legislation that would allow such action to be taken lawfully found its way into the hands of The New York Times. It's thought to be a response to a growing number of incidents involving small drones, including at the White House in 2015, at sporting events and of course around airports where they pose a serious danger to aircraft. The potential for their use by terrorists is also mentioned.
