Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Thank you very much for your testimony.

this issue really must be addressed.

I want to thank you for the fine job you are doing, but this issue must be addressed.

Oral Statement

Well I can certainly see that they are a natural partner here.

I am very interested in hearing from Professor McNeal, an expert on the issue of drones, about the potential policy options available to mitigate and respond to the threats posed by the commercial availability of unmanned aerial systems.

drones can be a form of accountability.

the security threat or the risk of safety to the officers was used as a tool to keep--to remove public accountability.

I am also looking forward to hearing from Mr. Roggero, who will be able to better inform this subcommittee about emerging technology that can be used to increase the safety of our airspace and our security posture as drones become…

Although drones are not the only avenue for conducting attacks, it is imperative that we leave the bad guys with fewer rather than a whole universe of options.

I want to thank each and every one of you for the information you shared today.

So then I guess my question is: How do we go about discerning what we should be concerned about...

Yes, they do.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Again, thank you for holding this hearing.

Well, that is enough for me.

It seems to me that we have the obligation to pass legislation which in fact protects the people of this Country, especially our children.

I strongly support what Senator Markey and Senator Boxer are trying to accomplish.

I am also looking forward to hearing from Professor Humphreys regarding DHS's efforts since his last appearance before the subcommittee to respond to the security vulnerabilities associated with drones.
