Summary

A drone sighting temporarily shut down runways at Stewart International Airport in New York on Friday, part of a string of drone activity since mid-November.

Gov. Kathy Hochul called for federal action, urging Congress to pass the Counter-UAS Authority Act to enhance drone oversight and empower local law enforcement.

Similar sightings in New Jersey prompted investigations by federal agencies, though many reports are suspected misidentified aircraft.

Officials stress the activity isn’t linked to foreign actors but remains irresponsible. Temporary flight restrictions were imposed near sensitive sites, including military bases.

    It’s not, and I don’t have grandparents. You see, I was talking about other people. Us, as it were. But I’ll take a sail boat to Cern with all the other evil ruling class researchers next time. 👍🚣‍♂️🚣‍♀️

      You see, I didn’t mean you, I meant everyone’s trip to grandma’s house. And the ruling class have diesel yachts.

        I feel like you’ve lost the thread. But whatever, everyone is the enemy. Solidarity ✊️.

              Hey now, don’t get in the way of my trip to grandma’s house. That would be way too much civil disobedience.

                Truly fighting the real enemy. Don’t burn yourself out on all this working class division. You’ll need your energy to fight other counter productive keyboard battles.
