From Zero Hedge: Uncle Sam Prepares To Unleash Up To 30,000 Drones Over America For "Public Safety"
The Federal Aviation Administration is working towards putting the finishing touches on rules and regulations for widespread domestic drone use, and the agency expects as many as 30,000 UAVs will be in America’s airspace by the decade’s end.

Another bonanza for the MIC. Another big hit against civil liberties.

RIP any illusion of privacy in the USA.
We, the people, are screwed.
so...
I'm guessing we have to hope that somebody somewhere comes up with a plan to screw with that. not that I have any ideas....
Not only is this just wrong, wrong, wrong,
but I'm sure we'll hear sooner or later: No one could have predicted...
if you have nothing to hide what's the problem?????
This is just part of the continuing militarization of the American police forces. This is yet another policy being shoved upon the taxpayers courtesy of the unelected Military Industrial Complex. We need these drones like we need more cruise missiles, submarines, carriers, attack helicopters and all the other military garbage. Too bad there is no Public Health Insurance Industrial Complex or Infrastructure Industrial Complex. This is just sickening. The MIC never participates in the austerity programs that their over funding helps cause.
This is no major surprise
There have been comments around the net for the past couple of years, usually dismissed as "conspiracy theory". Looking back at what has transpired over past decade, try to imagine what the next ten years will be.
Did a single catalyst make it all acceptable?
Qui bono?
thank god it's UAVs and not drones!
I love those UAVs!
Can we shoot them down? Or will that be a crime against property? Luckily we have a smart and sensitive man in the White House who won't abuse this. I've got his back!
And polite, don't forget that he's very polite.
I'm so excited! I've got a "follower" at GOS!
a recent diary discussed the decline of that site. I rec'ed it, one of 3. Last I looked there were 66 HRs. So some dude there has decided to follow me around and HR my comments. What's funny is that his HRs (and the 66 at that diary) prove the original diarist's point.
Ah well. I know you know.
Yes, we do know
Don't be afraid of them. Stand up for what you believe. As you have written, this is yet another example that proves the point the diarist pointed out.
And "Plus 4" for you.
Ratings are soon to come to VotS. Yay!
