New powers for police and airports to counter dangerous drone threats.
This law grants state and local law enforcement, along with airport security, new tools to detect, track, and neutralize drones posing a threat to public safety or aircraft operations. This enhances airspace security but introduces advanced technologies, such as signal jamming, for use by local authorities. All actions must comply with constitutional privacy protections.
Key points
Local police and airport security are now legally authorized to use signal jamming technology to immediately stop dangerous drones.
State and local authorities gain power to counter drone threats outside airport property, within their jurisdiction.
Commercial airports must develop detailed emergency response plans to quickly neutralize threats posed by unauthorized drones.
