They've decoded the footage. I'd imagine it won't be long until they can duplicate the technology involved in building and operating a drone of their own.

I also don't understand why we get to fly drones anywhere we want. Guess it's the old adage, "Might makes right". And I sure don't understand why the government gets to execute US citizens.
