Drone Sightings Spark Safety and Privacy Concerns Across Maryland and New Jersey

Recent drone sightings across Maryland and New Jersey have raised concerns about safety and privacy, prompting calls for stricter oversight and regulation. Authorities report increased incidents of drones operating near sensitive areas, including airports and critical infrastructure, posing potential risks to air traffic and security. Residents in suburban neighborhoods have also voiced privacy concerns over drones flying too close to homes. Experts are urging state and federal agencies to tighten drone registration requirements and enforce stricter operational guidelines. As drone technology becomes more accessible, balancing innovation with safety and accountability remains a critical challenge for regulators and lawmakers.
