Which they've been able to do with R/C model aircraft for many, many years now. I'm sure folks will be happy with that because they're not drones , they just function like drones

If they are going to spy on me I might as well give them something to ponder.
I'm going to use roof tiles to write "Don't Tread On Me" and do a rock garden in the shape of a snake.

Plus when I'm on my phone talking to my mother or my kids, I'm going to randomly throw the word "bomb" in there "These new boots I bought are DA BOMB!" "That movie we watched last night was a real bomb."

I'm also going to sprinkle my conversation with these phrases: "I am now PRESIDENT of the Garden Club." I am tired of the character ASSASSINATION of Honey BooBoo." "I've been out SHOOTING some photos of landscaping ideas." "I'm a real PREPPER when it comes to tenderizing a steak." "I HATE GOVERNMENT cheese." "My mother is an emotional TERRORIST."

I'll take photos when the drones show up!

I am fond of my privacy too. The difference between me and you is that you think you are being spied upon, and I do not. I like public spaces, such as beaches, restaurants, parks etc, and I am aware that someone could take a picture of me, but I DO NOT CARE. I do not feel my rights have been taken away. I do not feel my freedom of speech has been taken away. I enjoy my life and my freedoms without fear. The Lord has set me free of such nonsense. People like you will never be free, because you are imprisoned by your own fears and paranoias. If you are not afraid of this thing, then you are afraid of something else, and if there is nothing else, then you'll invent something to be afraid of.

Do you really think that people who are against drones spying on citizens don't care about other spying methods? We do. Drones just make the spying much easier and much more effective. Since I'm not OK with the government spying on it's citizens in general, the last thing I want to do is pave the way for them to make spying even easier and more effective.

Well that's just it. They don't see it.

My name was submitted to some government agency when I bought a 50lb bag of 10-10-10 fertilizer.
Filling out the form, the clerk asked me "Use ?"
I rolled my eyes and said "to put in dirt or would you rather I say to blow up America ?"

Take out over a certain amount of money from the bank and you'll get grilled too even if you ask for a certified check payable to a title company.
"Use ?"
"I'm buying a house or would you rather I say I'm funding a terrorist plot ?"

I don't care anymore except in the case of dealing with the law. I don't want to get shot or tazered because of sarcasm.

Make a game of it.
"Are you a US citizen?" Answer: Why ask ? It doesn't seem to matter anymore whether I am or not.

No. Now you are confusing the drones with the mobile xray scanners that drive down your street.

Maybe if you're not growing Acapulco Gold in your backyard, you've got nothing to worry about.
