@Weather_Rock_Wx @cvvhrn Interestingly enough, the re-entry location is NOT there... typically it's farther out at sea and off the islands to the south. I don't know where to get that info, however. We can find it, though.

'Our heads are exploding’ over news that Pentagon shot down
border protection drone in Texas, Democrats say

Three House Democrats on committees that oversee the nation’s
transportation and homeland security agencies said they were stunned by
the news that the FAA had to close airspace in Texas again after two parts of
the government once again failed to coordinate a laser strike on a suspected
foreign drone.

“Our heads are exploding over the news that DoD reportedly shot down a
Customs and Border Protection drone using a high risk counter-unmanned
aircraft system, congressional Democrats Rick Larsen, André Carson and
Bennie Thompson said in a statement.

“We said MONTHS ago that the White House’s decision to sidestep a
bipartisan, tri-committee bill to appropriately train C-UAS operators and
address the lack of coordination between the Pentagon, DHS and the FAA
was a short-sighted idea,” they added. “Now, we're seeing the result of its
incompetence.” — 30mago 02.09 GMT 'Our heads are exploding’ over news that Pentagon shot down border protection drone in Texas, Democrats say Three House Democrats on committees that oversee the nation’s transportation and homeland security agencies said they were stunned by the news that the FAA had to close airspace in Texas again after two parts of the government once again failed to coordinate a laser strike on a suspected foreign drone. “Our heads are exploding over the news that DoD reportedly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone using a high risk counter-unmanned aircraft system, congressional Democrats Rick Larsen, André Carson and Bennie Thompson said in a statement. “We said MONTHS ago that the White House’s decision to sidestep a bipartisan, tri-committee bill to appropriately train C-UAS operators and address the lack of coordination between the Pentagon, DHS and the FAA was a short-sighted idea,” they added. “Now, we're seeing the result of its incompetence.”

German parliament slaps limits on a drone deal after Peter Thiel backlash.

Germany’s parliament has approved a multibillion-euro military drone contract, but only after coalition lawmakers imposed new financial caps and oversight conditions following scrutiny over Peter Thiel’s stake in Stark, the Berlin-based startup that was awarded the deal.

Moree (my hometown) is deploying drones to help with the "youth crime problem". Which is code for targeting indigenous youth whilst pretending to be talking about crime in general.

But yeah, sure, drones are going to solve a problem that is a direct consequence of generations of disenfranchisement, resentment and lost opportunities caused by entrenched racism.
