One of Wisconsin’s Republican members of Congress is pushing for new, federal drone rules.
Congressman Mike Gallagher yesterday introduced the Drone Act. Gallagher says drones can be both very useful and very harmful. He says the idea is to create rules that encourage the useful use of drones, while punishing some of the harmful uses. Those include attaching a weapon to a drone, using a drone to sneak things into a prison, and using a drone to interfere with police or public safety. There are a handful of Democrats who’ve signed-on to the plan as well.
