' ...after Congress passed legislation paving the way for what the FAA predicts will be somewhere in the region of 30,000 drones in operation in US skies by 2020.
Privacy advocates have warned that the FAA has not acted to establish any safeguards whatsoever, and that lawmakers are not holding the agency to account. In addition, a recently uncovered Air Force document circumvents laws and clears the way for the Pentagon to use drones to monitor the activities of Americans. Incidents involving the drones in recent months have hardly provided positive spin for the industry, which is why Americans are set to witness a massive PR campaign that will “bombard the American public with positive images and messages about drones in an effort to reverse the growing perception of the aircraft as a threat to privacy and safety.” Last month a mystery object, thought to be a military or law enforcement drone, flying in controlled airspace over Denver almost caused a catastrophic mid air crash with a commercial jet.' what a bunch of BS!!!

PS: why was this approved? Follow the money, and the lobbyists, from the defense and aerospace industries darting about Capital Hill and getting this approved since 2001. Hell, we went to war in Iraq partially so Halliburton could make billions from government contracts. "Sell every police department a drone" is just more of the same - and "justified by terrorist and homeland security concerns, fellow Americans - don't worry about a thing".
