Unmanned Aerial Drones Coming Soon Above U.S.

cnet-declan writes "Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been flying over Iraq and Afghanistan, but now the Bush administration wants to use them for domestic surveillance. A top Homeland Security official told Congress today, according to this CNET News.com article, that: "We need additional technology to supplement manned aircraft surveillance and current ground assets to ensure more effective monitoring of United States territory." One county in North Carolina is already using UAVs to monitor public gatherings. But what happens when lots of relatively dumb drones have to share airspace with aircraft carrying passengers? A pilot's association is worried."

Re:"Security" makes it all OK?

You contradict yourself. If you think drugs should all be legal, despite the harm they do, then how can you not be in favor of gun rights? You're inconsistent. I think your hate is driven by outside forces, it certainly isn't rational. You probably couldn't point out a few positive things America has done for the world, like when we stopped Hitler, ended world war 2, freed people from the shackles of communism in east germany and former soviet states. Other countries are guilty of inaction.
