White House national security spokesman gives major update amid drone hysteria

Raw Story  

After sifting through the reports over the past few weeks of reports of drones over New Jersey, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Monday the truth is not out there. "Having closely looked at the tips and collated them as best we can from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and even stars that were mistakenly reported as drones," he said. It is illegal to shoot at drones, but Rep. James Comer also said Monday his constituents will use their "Second Amendment capabilities" and shoot down the machines, which could result in planes being mistakenly fired upon. "With their birds-eye view, drones can observe individuals in previously private and constitutionally protected spaces, like their backyards, roofs, and even through home windows," the EFF said.
