Hundreds of Chinese-manufactured drones have been detected in restricted airspace over Washington, D.C., in recent months, a trend that national security agencies fear could become a new means for foreign espionage.
The recreational drones made by Chinese company DJI, which are designed with “geofencing” restrictions to keep them out of sensitive locations, are being manipulated by users with simple workarounds to fly over no-go zones around the nation’s capital.

OTTAWA – “A fishing expedition”, “little foundation in evidence”, “purely speculative” and a “very significant distraction”.
Those are some of the words used by Emergency Act inquiry commissioner Paul Rouleau in a ruling that sternly dismissed a series of requests by a lawyer for Freedom Convoy organizers relating to government document redactions, a truck license plate and suggestions that a public affairs firm executive was a Liberal “provocateur” who carrried a Nazi flag at the protests in Ottawa.
