Podcast: Dawn Zoldi on “Domestic Drones and National Security”
Concerned about the proliferation of drones, but aren’t sure you know enough about them? Do you want a better idea of the law concerning their use domestically? Is anything being done to address the threat they could pose? If any of those questions resonate with you, you’ll want to watch the podcast we’re highlighting today.
As Lawfire® readers know, we are in the process of posting videos from the recently completed 
29th Annual National Security Law Conference sponsored by Duke’s Center on Law, Ethics and National Security (LENS), and I’m very pleased to tell you we now have the video, “Domestic Drones and National Security,“ available.
Colonel Zoldi, USAF (Ret.)
This fabulous presentation is by my friend and popular LENS conference speaker (not to mention Lawfire® contributor!) retired Air Force Colonel Dawn Zoldi.
Dawn is an award-winning expert on drones who has an unbelievable ability to translate both technical and legal issues into language understandable to everyone.
Attendees raved about this presentation, and many said it was a conference favorite – much, I believe, because of the wealth of information Dawn so clearly and effectively conveyed. I can almost guarantee you that as you listen to her presentation you’ll repeatedly say to yourself, “wow, I really didn’t know that!”
In less than 40 minutes, Dawn explains how the drone ‘business’ has mushroomed dramatically. She describes the potential threats, and the technical and regulatory efforts to mitigate the threats. You may be especially interested in the rules that already exist as well as those on the proverbial drawing board. Dawn’s on top of it all!
Let me say this: everyone will benefit from watching this one, and those who own a drone (or plan to) will find it extremely useful.
The reality is that drones are everywhere these days, and it is vital that we understand where the technology is today, and where it is going. Can the law keep up? Check out this video!
