- Dedrone and the U.S. Department of Defense found that unauthorized drones are flying twice daily, on average, over Fort McNair in Washington D.C.
- Offending pilots mostly flew drones made by industry leaders DJI.
Someone is gonna be in trouble if they get caught!

see the picture in the article. It has a revolver rigged up on a drone and refers to smuggling guns.
"Dedrone systems detect unauthorized drones in the sky, including drones used for gun smuggling."

Looks like these morons are getting creative with the drones. It's like a tool for them to do their crimes.

Drones have been used to make drops into prisons for a long time. While there is other activity going on(noise cover), cruise up to 1000 feet, head over the wall and drop it and leave, all from a car a mile a way
Fort McNair was built more than 200 years ago to serve to defend the capitol from a British invasion, and obviously failed when the capitol was burned in 1814. A war that was started by the US government when it sent troops to attack the city of York in Ontario, Canada. The US wanted to seize Canada as it later seized the colonized lands of the Spanish.
It is ludicrous to think that a drone is going to provide new intelligence on a 28 acre piece of land that no longer serves any military defense purpose. It is much like the Presidio in San Francisco where the military brass wanted to hold onto the private golf courses as with Fort Ord in Monterey.
How about a little perspective. The sky is not falling by the way.

CNBC? I dont listen to anything that comes out of that **** news factory..
Fake news. Don't get me started with that.
As soon as someone speak about "Fake News", I'm really starting to get disturbing.
As I mentioned on the other site, how come this news article hasn't mentioned that Ft McNair is less than a mile from Reagan National Airport? Isn't flying within a mile of the airport a violation as well? What about the fact that Ft McNair is embedded more than fourteen miles within the DC FRZ? Nobody mentioned that either. And DJI drones are flying in this heavily restricted airspace twice a day? Really?
BS news is right, That's on average twice daily so if they only go one day a week they can do it 14 times. And over a military base, well if it's a real base I think they have what it takes to bring it down. Or it's the enlisted men having fun with their drones.
