A drone flew perilously close to the White House in
Washington, DC, landing on the lawn at 3AM yesterday morning. The
security breach alarmed the U.S. Secret Service, charged with
protecting President Obama and his family. The president's young
daughters, Malia and Sasha, were at home during the time of the
incident. Secret Service representative Brian Leary stated, "An
investigation is under way to determine the origin of this
commercially available device, motive and to identify suspects."
Acording to reports, a man contacted the government to report his
drone accidentally crashed on the White House lawn.

Security experts have expressed their concern at the
incident and with good reason. A drone can be used to disseminate
deadly substances in the way of bio-terrorism or a bomb potent
enough to take out the entire White House. The government is seeking
a method of disabling drones that wander too close to the White
House. There are high end technological items that use pulse signals
and RF that can be used to disable electronic items. They should be
effective on drones.

The Judiciary Report has written in two past
articles that the perimeter surrounding the White House's air and
physical space needs to be widened. The government should not wait
for something bad to happen to implement the necessary changes. The
average person does not have bad intentions, but make no mistake,
some have the capacity to kill.
