Drones in the OLE- USA

Congress is said to have approved it, are they dragging this out with the latest report.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Widespread drone access to U.S. skies faces significant hurdles and will take longer than Congress had anticipated, federal officials acknowledged Thursday in releasing a long-term roadmap for domestic use of drones.
For the next several years, use of drones will be limited to permits granted by the Federal Aviation Administration on a case-by-case basis to operators who agree to procedures to reduce safety risks, the agency said.
Last year, Congress directed the FAA to grant drones widespread access by September 2015. But the agency has missed several deadlines for steps necessary to make that happen.
FAA, the same crew who had no mucken idea where the passenger planes were , 911.
Pseudo pats- GEE WHIZ GOLLY, drones in the sky to protect us, wiggle the flag, Oby is afterall a drone FAN , so are the manafacturers.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday released an initial plan for integrating unmanned aircraft more broadly into U.S. airspace by September 2015, along with a privacy policy for six drone test sites that will be chosen by the end of the year.

FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said new rules, standards and policies were needed to ensure that U.S. aviation regulations and safety rules remained the world's "gold standard," as a growing number of new unmanned planes joined manned aircraft in the skies above America.

"We recognize that the expanding use of unmanned aircraft presents great opportunities, but it's also true that integrating these aircraft presents significant challenges," Huerta told a news conference.

They go on to say it for weather observation firefighting etc..

Weather observation and fire fighting are good use for them Not everything about drones is about war.

Of course people like you only think about that.

In the future if people like me have our way books, food and other private market goods could be delivered in this way to people.

Just ignore the Globalist plans while you think about shopping and delivery....

Good God...

I'll bet you think the FEMA Camps are for all the poor people too....

I see you don't believe in modern civilization as everything is a evil globalist plan. What's even sicker is you don't believe that the government should help people after a tornado or hurricane? Says a lot about you as a human being.

So are you telling me that the private sector/corporations producing us food and what we want is bad? See how insane your idea of the world is...

Your mindset is of the 17th century.

GAO: DHS Flew Drones for 1,726 Hours Over Interior of U.S.
October 3, 2014 -- The Department of Homeland Security flew drones equipped with video cameras over the United States--away from border and coastal areas--for 1,726 hours from fiscal 2011 through this April, according to the Government Accountability Office.

At times, the drones--or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)--were being used for purposes other than border or immigration enforcement. But the GAO does not have a full accounting of when and where the drones were flown, or what they were used for during the flight hours spent in “other airspace.” In a series of briefing slides provided in August to the staffs of the House and Senate appropriations subcommittees on homeland security (and publicly released this week), the GAO examined whether DHS’s use of drones complied with U.S. privacy and civil liberty laws. In the slides, the GAO noted that DHS border patrol drones, which are primarily used to “support border security operations,” were sometimes flown away from the border “in support of other federal, state or local law enforcement activities and for emergency humanitarian efforts.” “DHS’s review reported that CBP operates UAS in accordance with its authorities, which do not limit use to border and coastal areas,” the GAO reported on briefing slide No. 2. “The location of UAS operations is limited by FAA requirements and CPB policies and procedures.”

These flights included missions to “provide aerial support for local law enforcement activities and investigations,” to agencies including the FBI and multi-agency task forces, and to “provide aerial support for monitoring natural disasters,” the report added on slide No. 11. The GAO also referenced the 639-page Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 -- the law that Congress passed with bipartisan support in January that fully funded the federal government for the remainder of fiscal 2014. Buried on page 250 of that law is verbiage that provides DHS with the authority to fly border patrol drones inside the United States for purposes other than border or immigration enforcement at the “discretion of the Secretary of Homeland Security.”

On briefing slide No. 27, the GAO quoted the Consolidated Appropriations Act, which states: “For necessary expenses for the operations, maintenance, and procurement of marine vessels, aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems, and other related equipment of the air and marine program, including salaries and expenses, operational training, and mission-related travel, the operations of which include the following: the interdiction of narcotics and other goods; the provision of support to Federal, State, and local agencies in the enforcement or administration of laws enforced by the Department of Homeland Security; and, at the discretion of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the provision of assistance to Federal, State, and local agencies in other law enforcement and emergency humanitarian efforts.”

This language has been included in annual appropriations bills since at least fiscal 2011, and was most recently included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act signed into law in January. Between Fiscal Year 2011 and last April, border patrol drones logged 18,089 flight hours, the GAO reported. Of these, 3,184 hours, or 18 percent, were spent at the Northern border from Michigan to Washington. Another 10,396 hours, or 57 percent, were flown at the Southwest border, while 1,189 hours, or 7 percent, came from the Southeast border off the coast of Florida. Another 1,594 hours, or 9 percent, were used for non-operational purposes such as training and transit. An additional 1,726, or 9 percent, were used in “other airspace” outside of a border zone.

But they are going to be most prevalent in LE and you know it.

The reality here is that tech moves forward, period. There simply is no way to put the genie back in the bottle.

Plenty of drones on this board, just look at all the far left posters.

To bad we can not just give them all one ID as they all say the same programed propaganda..
