The recent unexplained drone sightings in New Jersey and previous incidents at an Air Force base in Virginia have pulled back the curtain on America’s vulnerability to swarms of commercial and recreational drones. It’s not a question of if, but rather when, terrorists will exploit that weakness with attacks. The follow-up question is what weapons the terrorists might equip their drones with. Will it be explosives? Electronic warfare weapons? Or perhaps even radiological or biological contaminants?

Unfortunately, these recent incidents show that our security officials, from the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI down to the local sheriff, are clearly incapable of stopping a wave of terrorist-controlled drones.
