F.A.A. Bans Drone Flights Near Critical Infrastructure' in New Jersey
Briefly

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a monthlong ban on drone flights over a large swath of New Jersey, citing special security reasons including the investigation of numerous drone sightings.
Officials stated, 'We have temporarily restricted drone flights over critical New Jersey infrastructure at the request of federal security partners,' underscoring the precautionary nature of the ban.
Despite federal assurances of no security threat, public concern persists, with some officials speculating that the drones are being used for nefarious purposes.
The ban allows only authorized drone pilots for national defense, law enforcement, or disaster response, with commercial operators needing a waiver to fly.
