> The agency can’t legally shoot down ultralight planes just for carrying weed and blow.

How do they know what they're carrying? I sure hope some US government agency (DoD springs to mind) has the authority to shoot down sketchy aerial vehicles flying into the US from foreign territory and dropping stuff without radio contact or filed flight plans.

Think for a bit what terrorists or foreign powers could do to us if we let our airspace turn into a free-for-all.



Honestly? I think it makes a change to read an article that isn't full of fearmongering about terrorism.


They aren't dropping packages off on the White House lawn, or flying up the Hudson.
