Border Blazing: High Energy Lasers Raise Questions About Surveillance and Security The deployment of a high energy laser system to shoot down drones near the US Mexico border has sparked concerns about surveillance and security in the region.
The use of such advanced technology raises more questions than answers, particularly regarding its implications for maintaining balance between national security concerns and individual rights.
According to Joint Task Force Southern Border commander Curtis Taylor, the drones were part of a cartel operation to facilitate human smuggling and spy on US personnel.
