  1. US Cert has passed information about the security flaws to Canadian firm Nanometrics which makes the sensors and data-gathering equipment that makes up a lot of the seismic monitoring network.

    Oh, so it's the CANADIANS scheming against us again, eh? | We should have invaded when we had the chance! |

    1. We have a new one in the |San Bernardino National Forest|.
      Note that officials feel compelled to add this notice on incident pages:
      While Drones have not been seen over the Pilot Fire, Fire Managers would like to remind the public that hobby drones, or (UAS) unmanned aircraft systems, pose a major safety threat to firefighting pilots and firefighters. When a hobby drone is flown into a fire area, incident commanders have no choice but to suspend air operations and ground aircraft until the drone is removed from the area.

      As hobby drones have grown in popularity, we have seen an increase in these drones interfering with firefighting operations.A collision could easily result in major damage to our aircraft, injuries to the pilot and crew on board as well as firefighters below, and worse, a midair collision.

      When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage. On most wildfires, an FAA Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is put into effect and any private aircraft or drone that violates the TFR could face serious criminal charges.

      Thanks for asking. We're all pretty much anti-conflagrationist around here.
