    • I don't understand how the US expects to solve potential security problems caused by these products if they allow them to be operated as before. My guess is that there is a longer-yerm perspective and they want to hinder DJI and other manufacturers' sales in order to allow American companies to take the market and a soft transition would mean the customers can fly their drones until they crash them or wear them out, and then replace with new US products. My guess though is that the US companies will never make competitive products for the consumer market and the government policy can change as soon as they realize that. It should be simple enough to verify that the code on the device does not transmit data to China without the user's permission and DJI could easily host any flight log analysis within the US rather than send it overseas. This is about something other than security IMO.
    • i'm not sure what the government could do to shut them down, but DJI's app uses/needs GPS and I could see them threatening to fine/sanction DJI if they don't geofence out non-approved drones. But at this point, I don't think there are any existing DJI products that aren't approved.
    • Very witty. If WW III starts, photographers with drones can then make films about it, so drones may be very useful.  I would imagine the operation of unapproved drones can be shut down in the US territory based on GPS data, so IMO it would be pretty risky to invest in equipment that is not approved. 
    • Just get them delivered to greenland and wait a couple of months ?
    • Definitely. It’s super versatile.
