FBI Deputy Director Chris Raia stated in an interview that it is likely that drone attacks similar to those seen in conflict zones will eventually occur in the United States. He highlighted concerns regarding the advancement of commercially available drone technology, which could enable individuals and small groups to carry out attacks. Raia emphasized that the FBI is preparing for the potential use of next-generation drones that could be controlled from significant distances, complicating the identification of operators. The FBI's focus on drone threats has intensified during the FIFA World Cup, with over 300 drones seized and multiple arrests made related to unauthorized drone activity. Raia noted that the agency is also addressing challenges posed by encrypted communications that may hinder their ability to monitor potential threats. He encouraged the public to report any suspicious drone activities.
