Leaked on 05 November 2026
The TSA (@TSA) posted the word "drone" dozens of times in a row on X on November 5. DroneXL reported that it posted at 2:57 p.m. Eastern and drew 736,000 views by the evening.
The agency's follow-up explained: "flying a drone in a no drone zone near an airport could quite literally cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars," according to DroneXL. UNILAD also covered the viral post.
The post is a public-safety message, not a policy change.
