DOJ Expects Increased Enforcement Against Illegal Drone Activity

The FBI detected more than 200 unmanned aerial systems flying in restricted national security airspace October 2019-September, DOJ announced Tuesday. The FBI monitored dozens of events, including the Super Bowl, World Series and Rose Bowl and took corrective action, the department said. Officials expect an “increase in enforcement activity in response to the misuse of UAS,” Justice said. The bureau has seized about a dozen UASs violating flight restrictions at events in fiscal 2020.
