As the World Cup approaches, local police departments and federal agencies across the U.S. are intensifying efforts to implement anti-drone measures, anticipating up to 7 million visitors at 11 venues. Andrew Giuliani, executive director of President Trump’s World Cup task force, likened the event's security to '78 Super Bowls over 39 days.' New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch expressed significant concern over drone threats, prompting a multi-million dollar investment in drone systems. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin admitted to Congress that the U.S. is 'a little behind' in counter-drone preparations, despite counter-drone systems being installed at all World Cup venues. Federal funding, including $250 million in grants from FEMA, has aided local agencies in acquiring advanced drone technologies. Police in cities like Kansas City are preparing to monitor and disable unauthorized drones, while the FBI has certified over 60 law enforcement agencies for a federal training program. Authorities warn the public to check airspace maps, as violations can lead to severe penalties.
