Points well taken, as always. The government often invokes "Omerta" when it just can't seem to find the time to answer FOIA requests about sensitive issues.
Ships outside the 12-mile limit generally can generally operate with impunity. ICBMs can be fired just as easily from a freighter operated with an Iranian or other hostile-orientated crew as well as from a sophisticated nuclear submarine from below the waves. The time between launch to impact from the Chesapeake Bay to Washington, DC is just a minute or two.
When drones are spotted, people want answers. Instead, the Feds tell them the locals are the ones to investigate, and the locals tell the people that there is nothing they can do as that it is against the law to shoot at flying drones, as they are considered aircraft and protected by federal laws. A few substantive answers would be nice.

Shooting them down might not even be necessary - unless they have fully autonomous AI, they must have a radio control/communication frequency. If the US doesn't have the ability to take them over, we should have the ability to jam the frequency, orphan them, and gather them like walnuts. Why aren't we doing that??

Senator Richard Blumenthal, recalling his combat experience in Vietnam, recommends we shoot down the unknown drones. A judicious recommendation. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-senator-says-mysterious-drones-spotted-in-new-jersey-should-be-shot-down-if-necessary/ar-AA1vKwPp?ocid=BingNewsSerp
