Nothing is stopping terrorists from using off the shelf assets to develop and fly weaponised drones in America - and US Legislation means the State’s hands are tied on doing anything about it.
As emergency legislation is rushed through to combat the appearance of multiple suspicious drones across America, could an organisation such as Al Qaeda be planning a mass terror attack? It may sound hysterical, but it’s scarily plausible.
I spoke to Rear Admiral Mike Hewitt, a seasoned operator and a man who knows a thing or two about classified ops, particularly in surveillance:
Having served as Deputy Director for Global Operations in the Operations Directorate of Joint Staff at the Pentagon, he was responsible for oversight and coordination of worldwide operational matters. This included Global Reconnaissance Operations, Cyberspace Operations, Military Information Support Operations, Information Operations, and Special Programs.
He was recognised as one of the department’s leading experts in strategy concerning asymmetric warfare, non-kinetic warfare and sensitive collaboration within the Department of Defense, Interagency and National Security Staff.
He went on to be a renowned advisor in cyber warfare, countering weapons of mass destruction and advanced warfare concepts having served as Commander of the Patrol and Reconnaissance Group.
Who better to ask about the mass sightings of unexplained aerial activity?
