NYPD: Feds Must Change Law To Better Protect NYC From Threat Of Drone Terror Attack

The New York Police Department (NYPD) has urged federal policymakers to change a law it says could hinder the force’s ability to thwart a potential drone terror attack targeting the nation’s most populous city.

During a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee hearing last week, an NYPD official told politicians that “jammers” capable of blocking and scrambling GPS receivers would benefit efforts to protect New York against threats posed by unmanned aerial vehicles.
