Article snippet: Ranking member Jordan, Government Operations subcommittee ranking member Meadows, and National Security subcommittee ranking member Hice, sent a letter, obtained by Breitbart News, to McAleenan on Thursday, requesting information regarding a DHS alert that Chinese-made drones could be “used to collect and exfiltrate sensitive data out of the United States.” According to a DHS alert, the three House conservatives said that Chinese-made unmanned aerial systems (UAS) [drones] “pose a ‘potential risk of an organization’s information.'” Jordan’s letter continues: The report did not name any specific manufacturers; however, nearly 80 percent of the drones used in the U.S. and Canada came from DJI, according to one industry analyst. The alert continued: The House conservatives’ letter to the DHS arises as many lawmakers have become increasingly concerned about China’s ability to spy using Chinese technology.
