The DHS memo highlighted the vulnerability of US cities to weaponized drones, with extremists potentially modifying drones to carry threats like explosives and chemicals. Despite observing nefarious drone activities, local authorities often lack the authority to intervene. To combat this, the DHS has recommended repositioning CCTV cameras, training police on handling hazardous drones, and deploying sensors for drone detection. The rising threat emphasizes the need for improved countermeasures and preparedness against unmanned aircraft systems.
