Criminals used a drone swarm to disrupt an FBI hostage rescue

Ford put forward its idea for such a system last month. The automaker believes anti-collision lights on drones could have the added function of flashing a unique code that could be read by a mobile app. Instead of requiring drones to broadcast a radio signal or similar, this system would be cheap to implement and could potentially be retrofitted to existing models.

As usual the Feds are fucking retarded. The FAA knows how easy it is to build an airworthy quadrotor from scratch so why employ these stupid tactics? To pacify those with no working knowledge of the subject I suppose.

Other specifics of the incident remain "law-enforcement sensitive,

Secret FBI hostage rescue.
