Obviously police departments need super expensive laser weapon systems to shoot down drones. I hear companies like General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman, and Blue Halo already make these systems. Everyone knows Congress loves spending money on big defense contractors.

I wonder what consultants told them they need them. Do you think any work for General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman, and Blue Halo?
