Earlier this morning, we got word that airspace in El Paso is being shut down around the airport

0:05.2

due to a national security threat. Shortly after this, the restrictions were lifted, and we were

0:10.8

informed that this was due to a Mexican cartel drone incursion. That is, the cartels in Mexico

0:18.8

have been using drones as transport for drugs as well as weapons,

0:23.6

and this threatened the safety and security of commercial flights in and around El Paso.

1:29.5

This is very early on to broadcast to live stream to explore this technology.

1:34.9

And I was asked by a group of individuals with the government, what should we be concerned

1:40.7

about as we prepare to regulate and address the incoming drone wave.

1:46.1

And I said, a single individual can take one of these drones and load a bomb onto it,

1:51.5

and they can commit acts of terror that you cannot stop.

1:55.1

You will see it coming, and there's nothing you can do.
