Cong. Adam Kinzinger says claims that the RC-26b is a spy plane used to gather information about protesters are false. The Channahon Republican says he flies the plane for the National Guard. He flew over some of the protests two weeks ago.
Kinzinger says the aircraft doesn’t contain equipment for harvesting cell phone data, nor is it used for any other human intelligence gathering. He says it would be illegal for the National Guard to do that.
