Life's A Drone - Then You Get Hacked

Texas college hacks government drone

This is the most awesome thing ever! A group of students in Austin, TX told the Department of Homeland Security that they could hack a drone, and DHS dared them to do it. So, $1000 worth of equipment, a little bit of ingenuity, and a homemade hacking system later, viola! A hacked drone!


Of course, the media feeds into the cultural fear that has become America. They tell us that this means that if some college students can do it, so can the terrorists. Soon, they'll be taking over the thousands of drones that are set to watch our sky starting in a few years! Those terrorist will be flying them into buildings and not even killing themselves! What are we going to do? The fear is too great!

Come on, people! Wake up! We can't let drones take over our airspace. We need to take back our freedoms, deny them the ability to spy on us. We need to stop the use of drones in America. Call your senator, your mayor, your sheriff's department and demand that drones not be used in your city, county and state. I'm not statist, and I don't condone anything the government does, but these people are meant to serve our needs, even if they do so with violence.
