"While we were dealing with a terrorist attack in New Orleans, we had drones being flown over our nuclear reactors in Louisiana.”
That’s what Gov. Jeff Landry said Thursday night while sitting next to President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in during dinner with some of the country’s Republican governors in Palm Beach, Florida.
Landry's comment came during a discussion arising from a reporter's question about the lack of available information on drone sightings over New Jersey.
“We’ve been asking the FAA to give these states the ability to mitigate these drones,” Landry said, referring the ability to take down or disable drones.
In an interview Friday, Landry said the Federal Aviation Administration has not granted Louisiana the authority to manage drone mitigation, so far opting only to restrict airspace over some of the state’s critical infrastructure.
“While that's appreciative and needed, that doesn’t solve our problem,” Landry explained. “We need the ability to take these drones down. There’s technology out there that allows us to do that.”
