Your argument is fallacial.

Just because it doesn't happen to someone personally, does not mean that it is irrelevant.

BULLS**T!

The argument that drones could be used to do something is the inane argument here.

People's rights could have been violated by any number of means for the past 200+ years.

Someone with an axe could have chopped down any number of front doors.

Do you cower in fear at the thought there's axes out there?

BTW, please point out exactly WHERE privacy is mentioned in the Constitution.

You are the one who questioned whether there is a right to privacy outlined in the constitution.

I just wondered if you had changed your mind about the abortion issue.

This is different than a helicopter how, exactly?

People are so funny. They get worked up over the dumbest things. If you're bothered enough by this to start a thread or make a youtube video about it, but you don't react the same about helicopters, then you're stupid, plain and simple. There is no difference between the two, except for operational cost and safety.

It's simply poor logic or ability to reason.

If I hear "If we save only ONE life, (fill in the blank with a proposed law) will be worth it," one more time, I am going to set my hair on fire and run down the street. Well, not really - but sheeze, can't people see the logical error to that argument?

How many lives can we save by, oh, I don't know - outlawing bathtubs, motorcycles, and ladders? How many lives can we save by rounding up every single child in the US and forcing whooping cough vaccines on them? (Whooping cough is the FIFTH leading cause of death in the US and completely avoidable.)

Bad law is written when we abandon reason for emotion. Fear is the best tool for oppression.

Should a woman have a right to the privacy of her own body?

I am cool either way. If they want to use them to protect the borders, or catch criminals I'd be ok with it, but if they want to ban them, then that's fine too. My whole point here is to say they don't bother me either way.
