Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

The military has been perfecting the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or drones, for years now, sending them overseas to eliminate enemy combatants in Pakistan, underage US citizens in Yemen, and Al Queda wherever they're found hiding.  Some new recruit fresh from his X-Box tournaments in high school mans a drone from somewhere in Virginia that is killing a complete stranger, a blip on a screen, on the other side of the planet.  Now these drones are trying to find their way in to domestic airspace as well.  If new policy is put in to place soon *more* police departments and even private agencies will be flying drones over our towns and cities to keep an eye on things and report any fishy happenings back to the proper authorities.

CBS News explains the situations as such:  

The revised Air Force report is a continuation of a policy already a few years old, but is causing more alarm now as drones appear poised to soon become a ubiquitous presence in U.S. skies thanks to a federal policy to promote their use, first by law enforcement agencies, and then by commercial concerns.

What has critics alarmed is that data collected by drones accidentally, under the guidelines, can be kept by the military up to three months before being purged and can also be turned over to “another Department of Defense or government agency to whose function it pertains.”

So keep a eye on the sky, because soon it'll be keeping an eye on you for sure.
