For a drone, the only people that need to know are the pilot and 1 member of the ground crew. Cruise missiles launched from the air are from larger planes (like a B-52) which has a much larger ground crew. More people that know means the less likely it is that the event can be kept secret.
Cruise missiles require a long and complex chain of command. At a minimum, the Captain, First Officer, and one more officer would have to know where the cruise missile is actually going. Plus, the other 200 people on board would know that their ship launched a cruise missile 100 miles off the coast of California.
With a drone, only the pilot needs to know. Everyone else would think it's a "routine surveillance mission"
The success of Bitcoin is the same as the increased value of the Dow Jones (15,000+ right now). It is not based on any real, tangible objects. It is based on the theory that "oh yeah, it's worth something, trust me!" Both values are completely empty and meaningless. Just like the promises from Barrister Mohammed Gandha.
I'll be saying that on my porch in about 40 years. Sipping on water, because alcohol is "bad for you" and my Obamacare would be cancelled if I drank. Waving to the drones flying overhead and flipping off the DHS agents who drive by my house every 17 minutes.
Never said it was. With drones in the skies, the FBI doesn't even need to bother with a siege or coverup. It makes their ability to get away with murder even easier than before.
They can just launch a drone in Chicago, fly it over to Idaho, and blow up anybody's house. Nobody would know about it, no witnesses, and most importantly, a drone with minimal radar signature and no recorded takeoffs in the area (remember, these things can fly for 36 hours). Only 1 person even has to know the mission, the person behind the joystick.
What they do not tell you, is that the same mount points underneath the wings used for fuel tanks can be changed to carry missiles in a matter of minutes. So even those "civilian" drones have the capability in 20 minutes to be sending hellfire missiles to the ground.
If the FBI had drones in 1992, they would have launched a hellfire missile and killed the entire Weaver family. And it would have been blamed on a gas leak and covered up. If the FBI had drones in 1993, they would have launched a hellfire missile at the Branch Davidians and killed all of them. The FBI would have blamed the Branch Davidians and said they committed mass suicide.
Obama did a victory dance over Flame, Stuxnet, and killing Bin Laden. The only reason he would not do a victory dance over these "20 incidents" is that they never occurred.
Even the Russians knew these guys were trouble. But the NSA/FBI/CIA/DHS did not. No reason why the FBI could not have added their names/phone numbers to a list of potentials and kept an eye on them. Instead, they are strip-searching grandma, reading 15-year-old girls' text messages, and obtaining phone records from the AP and James Rosen (and his parents).
What is more dangerous is having stupid people driving..... period. Whether they are texting, juggling, talking on the phone, or playing PS3. Especially when they try to merge onto a 65 MPH freeway going 30 MPH.
You should try a less reflective material. I prefer to use coyote dung, myself. Also keeps the dogs carried in the black helicopters from following me.
Live in a cabin in the mountains that is over 100 miles from the nearest cell phone tower. Also ensure that you have top cover so satellite surveillance cannot see your house. Add enough insulating material (dirt would be easiest) above your cabin so that there is little/no thermal footprint. And never leave your new found cabin, since cars and feet all leave tracks.
I'll leave out the "defense against tyranny" argument for you.
Like some people, I work Monday through Friday and am not always present at my house. I do leave it once in a while.
Think about it like this. Even a cheap gun is worth $300 or so. A good handgun retails for $800 easily. A so-called "assault rifle" goes for $1,500 for an entry level model, with some worth well over $3,000. So let's just say that I own a single handgun, 2 cheap rifles, and 2 "assault rifles". That means my gun collection is worth (on average) $4,500. That is not to mention ammunition, which is (on average) $30 a box. I could fit 30 boxes in a single backpack with ease, meaning this bag is now worth $900, and the grand total is $5,400. Now imagine someone going into a house to steal $5,400 worth of game consoles, computers, TVs, and other consumer electronics. Those 5 guns and backpack could be carried by one person in one trip. Consumer electronics, not so much.
So if I were a criminal, I could case a place for 3 days, find out if they work a regular 9-5. Break in during the day, use a $150 drill and $50 drill bit to open a gun safe in 1 hour, and make off with a $5,400 pay day (minus $200 in expenses for equipment).
I know of many instances where criminals have stolen guns out of people's houses and attempted to sell them. Happened to a friend of mine last year. It does happen.

Perhaps you should refresh yourself on history

The Germans involved in the Holocaust were a minority of the overall German population. But we bombed the crap out of the entire country anyways.

I think it would be a better investment to send my money to Barrister Mohammed Gandha from Nigeria.

Cameras that carry 5-mile range missiles

We would have never known the truth.
I walked right into that one....
LAME!
Misleading title, stupid concept, and a complete waste of my time. Is this r/boring?

If only the NSA had pulled 2 more phone numbers, adding the Tsarnaev brothers to their list of terrorists.
Yo Dawg, I heard you like playing racing games. So I installed a PS2 in your car so you can play Gran Turismo while driving.

Are you channeling your inner Hillary Clinton by saying "What difference does it make?"
