Defense One: Trump’s Special Ops Pick Says Terror Drones Might Soon Reach the US from Africa. How Worried Should We Be?
Technological advancement could produce ocean-spanning consumer UAVs. But extremists won’t necessarily bother with them.
On a dusty beach in far western Africa, a group of men hop out of a pickup truck. They quickly assemble a small commercial drone and send it winging northwest across the Atlantic Ocean. A bit more than a day later, it will make landfall over the southeastern U.S. coast — its explosive payload still intact.
Advances in batteries and solar power could make this a reality, warns Owen West, whom President Donald Trump has tapped to oversee the Pentagon’s special operations and low-intensity conflicts.

WNU Editor: Why send it from Africa .... travel to Canada or Mexico and fly it from there. Or better still .... find a way to enter the U.S. and then use a terror drone within the U.S. itself. These concerns on how drone technology is changing .... and how it could be used in launching a terror attack .... are valid. ISIS has shown the way on how these drones can be used, and security specialists are justifiably concerned that it will only be a matter of time before other terror groups do the same thing.
