Drone Over Presidential Motorcade
This week, a recreationally operated drone got a little too close to President Obama’s motorcade, drawing the attention of the Secret Service and illustrating the challenges to security that drones represent. The operator immediately landed the drone when requested by agents and it looks like the Secret Service is treating the “incursion” as inadvertent and the man was not charged. Hopefully, he was at least allowed to keep any footage he captured…it might be worth the increased heart rate and sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach when approached by Presidential protection staff.
