The drone threat is here. Is our community ready?

Drone sightings are no longer a distant military concern—they’re disrupting airports, hovering near sensitive sites, and creeping into everyday public spaces. As major global events approach in the U.S., the risk isn’t hypothetical anymore. This piece makes the case that the front line of defense won’t be federal agencies, but states and cities that are largely unprepared for a fast-moving, low-cost threat. The warning is clear: readiness will depend less on hardware than on planning, training, and coordination—before the next drone forces a crisis response. Keith Stalder with Route Fifty has the eye-opening commentary.
