QuoteWithin weeks and possibly days, President Obama is likely to sign into law a bill that will bring unmanned aerial vehicles - drones - into US general airspace, crisscrossing the country in company with passenger planes and other human-carrying aircraft.

"We're already flying UAVs in airspace all over the world. Now we need to open the skies for them at home to make our nation more secure, our communities safer and our economy more dynamic, creating jobs and opportunities in our country. If we don't you can be sure other nations will."

Glittersnatch would be a rather unfortunate condition, if a halfway decent troll name.

Whaaaaat

This can't possibly be a good idea.

I know a group of ultra-conservative christians that are working on building huts in a western mountain range that are designed to not be detectable by drones.   :roll:

I don't like the idea of unmanned drones flyin over my lawn.. but I dislike it in an apathetic "that's fucked up... oh look they're shiny!" kind of way.

I'm having trouble seeing how much good this will really accomplish. Can someone help me and play devil's advocate?

What it will do is put a lot of money in the pockets of the people who make these things.

Britain has been using them for a while.  I guess Obama felt left out.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

It's just one more little thing on an ever-lengthening list of privacy. You never know when the eye of the state is on you (not that you didn't before, but nevertheless).

Y'all laugh but it is a valid question.  It is your property, do you not own the airspace above it?  I mean you own the mineral/water rights below it.

I think that after a certain height, it falls under the FAA.

So can one argue that anything under that is fair game?
