Watch Desk posted an update
The US Transportation Department has immediately barred unauthorised drones from flying along the border with Mexico, Bloomberg reports. The restriction is intended to support ongoing security missions, including those targeting cartel activity.
Why it mattersThat is a direct change to where drone operators can fly, not a new drone or AI system. The report does not specify the restricted area’s boundaries or explain how operators can check whether a flight is authorised.
Discuss: When drone restrictions are imposed for security missions, how much detail should the government publish about the boundaries and authorisation process?
