The FBI is cautioning drone operators to keep their devices away from World Cup matches. This comes as part of the increased security measures with the tournament about to begin in the U.S. Over 60 law enforcement agencies have undergone new federal training to tackle unauthorized drone activity around World Cup venues.
The FBI showcased this training program at their facility, preparing for drones which can pose risks due to their changing technology and potential to carry harmful payloads. The Federal Aviation Administration outlines flight restrictions around such events. Violating these restrictions can lead to criminal charges.
