“Last week, just after suppertime in a neighborhood in McLean, Virginia, a 14-year-old girl--we'll call her Sarah--was jumping on a neighbor's backyard trampoline. Suddenly, Sarah heard a noise and looked up, only to see a low-flying object hovering overhead. It was a small, remote-controlled flying object. It was a drone. It had a blinking red light coming from it. The object hovered over her for about 10 minutes. She began to get real nervous and uneasy. So she jumped off the trampoline and ran home to tell her parents, but the flying object continued to follow her. She told her mother. So her mother walked outside into the street and observed the flying object. Suddenly, the object moved away into another neighbor's backyard, where three other teenage girls were sitting in the pool. The small drone hovered over them momentarily, then it moved away. The police were called. They arrived at the scene and told the citizens: ``Sorry, there's nothing we can do.'' Mr. Speaker, this sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie--someone up to no good spying on teenage girls with a drone. Mr. Speaker, drones are easy to find and easy to obtain. With a simple Google search, you will find out that one can buy a drone on eBay or go down the street and buy one at Radio Shack.…”
