The "Drone Espionage Act" seeks to amend Section 793 of title 18, United States Code , which pertains to the unauthorized gathering, transmitting, or losing of defense information. Its core purpose is to explicitly include "video" as a prohibited form of media within this statute. The bill achieves this by inserting the term "video," after "photographic negative," wherever it appears in the existing text. This legislative change aims to modernize the law, ensuring that the unauthorized recording or transmission of sensitive defense information via video, such as drone footage, is clearly covered. Ultimately, the act intends to enhance national security by adapting legal protections to contemporary technological capabilities.
