Rep. Dan Crenshaw urges Congress to address 'lack of legal framework' surrounding drone security
Fox News
Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, warned of the "real problem" Congress must tackle regarding drone security on Tuesday, following a House Intelligence Committee classified briefing on the mysterious sightings.
As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, Crenshaw emphasized that one of the "biggest problems" in addressing drone security is the lack of a clear "legal framework." Joshua Comins is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
"Since 2017, 2018, we've given the federal government authority to detect and mitigate drone activity across the United States, but that tends to be pretty limited," said Crenshaw. "So DOJ has authority, DOD has authority, DOE - Department of Energy - has authority, DHS has some authority. But all of these authorities are pretty specific to, say, government facilities and even some government facilities don't even fall under it. And so, you know, you might find some government facilities, that, if they shoot down a drone that's overhead, they're actually criminally liable. So this is a real problem that we have to solve in Congress." He covers media, politics, breaking news and current events.
Crenshaw noted that a few bills in Congress addressing this issue have been circulating for some time, and he believes they will now receive "a lot more attention." Story tips can be sent to joshua.comins@fox.com.
