It's not to protect you. It's because American drone manufacturer's cannot compete due to higher price and shittier product. So they lobbied the politicians to ban DJI. Lobbying is how most things are done at the Capitol.

Representative John Moolenaar (R-MI) argues that a DJI drone ban will foster a more robust and competitive drone industry. Skydio, an American company based in California, is one of the strongest alternatives to DJI and makes some of the best drones on the market.
Skydio doesn't even make consumer drones anymore. The logic on our lawmakers is remarkable. There isn't any other affordable, consumer grade drone manufacturer in the US. DJI put them all out of business due to a superior product.

And you cannot have a more robust and competitive market, when you ban a superior product. You just lower the threshold low enough for shit products to flood the market. Yes, US drones (commercial grade) are shit products.

I also wonder what is going to happen to all the law enforcement DJI drones. I assume like everything they will be exempt.

I would suggest buy it, but wait until what the government decide on it.

Not yet. Someone posted reddit link below. They still have to decide on it and it might be Friday before we get to know completely. Probably best to buy and return if ban is in affect.

Not true at all. Look up some articles because most of them are saying that part of the bill includes efforts to "restrict dji's access to communication." This very likely means that any DJI drone operating in the states is going to be permanently grounded because the radio frequencies they were using are going to be cut off from them.

How are they going to cut off radio frequencies from the radio transmitter? That doesn't make any sense.

Deciding on whether to do the mini 3 vs the pro. The obstacle avoidance sounds like a good feature to have….

They will be grandfathered in if they're bought and registered before the ban
That is not in the legislation that so far has support from both parties. It would geofence DJI products and make it illegal for them to operate on US communication channels, effectively bricking them.

And they want them bricked, because otherwise they are still transmitting all that data to the Chinese government, so grandfathering in makes no sense.

Owners of DJI drones, if passed as is, would need to sell theirs in the Canadian and Mexican markets and the like, and the huge flood of DJI drones for sale all at once will cause prices to be rock bottom.

Absolutely not correct. After reading your post I walked outside and using a device with no sim card and wifi turned off took a flight. No problem.
You're using cached data, but that will eventually expire and you will need new data and you'll be both blocked and geofenced out, the same reason you can't take off a DJI drone in any prohibited area today as is.

The only difference is that instead of just being geofenced out of near airports or parks, the entire US will be geofenced, effectively bricking the device for domestic use.

To buy a DJI drone this year is such a massive gamble, no one with a conscious would recommend it to anyone. And I'm not saying DJI drones are bad, they are the best, and for good reason they actually are subsidized by the Chinese government, and US government isn't lying when they are warning about that.

The Chinese government dumped $55.3 billion into them, so its no wonder they are leaders, and its also why world governments were scared that the Chinese government had a good reason so invest such a massive amount in surveillance drones that are "phoning home" information even though its housed on servers based in the US for this market (per the FBI and CISA investigation). I mean think on it, when is the last time Democrats and Republicans ever agreed on anything, and yet they are agreeing this is an issue, so if that doesn't tell you something, lol!
