Unmarked no-fly zones at unannounced times and locations are a remarkable innovation. Hopefully they will tell you when and where you shouldn't have been when they charge you for it, but that may be classified.

> the order extended no-fly zones to ground vehicles belonging to the Department of Homeland Security. Even while the vehicles were in motion. Even if they were unmarked. And even if their routes had not been announced. I want to know the genius who wrote this, and the mastermind who approved it.

Artoooooor

Couldn't it be used to identify/track the ICE vehicles? Observe where drones suddenly become enclosed in a no-fly zone (do I understand correctly that operators get notification that they should land immediately)?

This is shit writing. > On April 15, the FAA removed the no-fly zones by replacing the sweeping flight restrictions... This should have been in the FIRST paragraph, not 24th. You can give me all the background you want AFTER you tell me the most important point.

Get this bullshit political hit piece off my feed.
