President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming national security said the United States needs an “Iron Dome” amid a rash of recent drone sightings in New Jersey and New York.

Top officials, including Alejandro Mayorkas, the outgoing secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and authorities in the FBI have said the drones do not appear to pose a public safety or national security threat. They also have ruled out the drones are being operated by a foreign adversary, as suggested by several lawmakers last week.
