Today in social networks, supporters of the ISIL on several resources posted a picture of a droneflying over Manhattan. The picture also shows the signature «Sender: Islamic state» and photographs of terrorist acts committed at different times, for which he took responsibility for the terrorist network.

Particularly acute is this threat is as yet unknown figures in social networks after the story of the drone strike in the British capital. London’s Gatwick airport because of the drone attacks was forced to shut down for almost two days. Affected about 120 thousand passengers were canceled or delayed more than 700 flights. Security forces are now claiming that this sensitive blow was struck ISIS.
Meanwhile, British media reported that security forces were totally unprepared for the terrorist attack on Gatwich. Was not ready nor in a legal relationship — it turned out that they have no right to shoot down a drone or technical — to bring down was nothing. In the end, at Christmas time the largest European airport was stopped. The police had to turn to the army for help. The military has deployed the system jamming and broke the control of the UAV of terrorists.
Now after publications in social networks, and it is likely that this is clearly expressed threat of terrorists, there are questions to the American security forces — whether they are in case of realization of this threat, to protect new York or any other city in the United States, and to ensure normal functioning of the infrastructure?
Recall that in a recent audit office report (GAO), the development and availability of unmanned aerial vehicles were named among the most serious long-term threats to US security. A small flying contraption, like we saw in Gatwick, don’t even have to threaten with weapons, to cause enormous damage.
US lawmakers attempted to restore order in the use of drones in the skies over the American cities, but the opposition of the manufacturers and user companies drone harsh measures to enter are not allowed. The police can take control of the drone, force it to land, and even to destroy only in certain, or rather very complicated conditions. Perhaps the only real incident and subsequent trials will show you what rights in this area actually have the police and security forces and whether they have any clear instructions on a case, such Gatikha or any other.
Unfortunately, such threats — and even a response to the talk about withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria and Afghanistan. Apparently, the terrorists want to convey the idea that in this case the world still did not come.
