Executive Order 14305, signed in June 2025, pushed detection funding to state and local agencies. A drone approaching a stadium can cross private property, city jurisdiction, county lines, and a federal security perimeter in ninety seconds. Venue security teams have no mitigation authority at all; certified local police have some; federal teams have more. Every protected event needs a named decision authority: one accountable official, designated in advance, who owns the hostile-or-not call, with a pre-planned line of succession. The calendar is unkind: after this Sunday comes a Ryder Cup, a Super Bowl, and the 2028 Olympics, each a mass gathering under an expanding drone threat.
