Would you welcome unarmed drones being used by the local police departments, F.B.I, Homeland Security, etc... in the United States?

Well it's a little late for that.
Congress approved and funded 30,000 of those babies for domestic use.

Hopefully I'll have the means to be out of this country by the time they're monitoring our once free skies.

No. When my wife rambles on about something of little interest to me, I usually just keep quiet and try to tune it out.

Don't you think they will only be used to hunt down criminals?

...who is deemed a criminal?

Considering that we currently consider it "criminal" to grow a plant yet not "criminal" to fundamentally destroy the economic future of Millions upon Millions of people I'd say no way in Hell do I want drones to be used to "hunt down criminals".

Innocent Woman and Children are killed daily in Pakistan by "drones hunting down criminals". Are American lives worth more?

I forgot to say....


In before the "well if you're not doing anything illegal, you have nothing to worry about" apologists but it appears invincible is already leaning that direction.

I didn't support it when it came up in Congress and emailed my Congressman.

Obviously my opinion didn't count.
