Police State: Surveillance Drones Over U.S. Get Ok By Congress...

Big Brother sees you.

Now we can go after the illegals.

I know a thing or two about drones, and one of the most dangerous things about them is that the pilot has no peripheral vision when launching and landing one. They can be a serious hazard to navigation.

It's one thing when they are bumping and crashing into other aircraft in a war zone, quite another in civil airspace.

They're a very serious hazard in many ways.

Available reports regarding unmanned aircraft (UA) reliability have noted that the accident rate for UA is, in general, much higher than that of manned aircraft

Yes, the Big Brother aspect is a very dangerous one as well.

Where are those pro Patriot Act folks that kept telling us they don't care if their phones are wiretapped because they aren't doing anything wrong...

Bill Text - 112th Congress (2011-2012) - THOMAS (Library of Congress)

A comprehensive plan to safely accelerate the integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system.

I think it's about saftey. But it could be for fast tracking the super spy network!!!!

It is about accelerating the integration of UAVs into American airspace. They are already there. Now the government is directing the FAA to find a way to increase the number of them.

What reasons can you think of for why we need 30,000 UAVs available to fly in our airspace?

Where? The Mexico boarder?

The US Federal Aviation Administration allows for recreational use of remote-controlled air vehicles, but the Columbia Packing case blurs the line because the UAV became a surveillance tool. Commercial use is also illegal – last week real estate agents in Los Angeles, California, were ordered to stop using helicopter drones to shoot aerial movies of properties they are selling. “Although the FAA allows hobbyists to fly model airplanes for recreational purposes, that authority does not extend to operators flying unmanned aircraft for business purposes,
