Federal authorities became so adept at hunting down drones during the FIFA World Cup that some drones were intercepted before operators could remove them from cars, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealed this week.

He said security teams brought down nearly 2,000 drones over the course of the tournament.

"We got so good at [intercepting them], we started being able to bring them down before they even got out of the trunk of a car," Mullin said Monday on "The Will Cain Show."
