Bad guys keep finding new ways to use the tech, and there is no easy way to stop them.
The news: According to Defense One, FBI agents were staking out an “unfolding situation” last winter when suddenly they were surrounded by drones. One agent said it “definitely presented some challenges.”
Details: Not only did the drones physically interfere with the operation, they also filmed and uploaded the action to YouTube so that other gang members could monitor the scene.Criminals continue to find new uses for drones. The US military has technology that can jam radio signals used to pilot the vehicles, but it hasn’t been tested in populated areas with easy-to-disturb cell towers. And once commercial drones can fly autonomously, some jamming techniques won’t even work. Maybe we need to revisit training drone-hunting eagles.
