my pleasure sir.

perfectly plausible if the plane is being fully operated by some command-post via wireless signals.

Planes are flown by gps not sight.

Planes are flown by gps not sight.

with critical inputs from the pilot. i'm referring to unmanned flights.

i dont really care that they hacked the drone, im already mad as hell that they are here in the first place.

the drone used in the experiment is owned by the university, nothing to do with military.

We're both wrong, it belongs to Homeland Security.

We're both wrong, it belongs to Homeland Security.

A group of researchers led by Professor Todd Humphreys from the University of Texas at Austin Radionavigation Laboratory recently succeeded in raising the eyebrows of the US government. With just around $1,000 in parts, Humphreys’ team took control of an unmanned aerial vehicle owned by the college, all in front of the US Department of Homeland Security.​

that's my source. i'm tryin to figure out where did you got the idea that it belongs to DHS?
