Hey Feds, this will not end well for you!
Taunting an action from Citizens will backfire!
Posse Comitatus essentially forbids the Federal government from calling up the US military for domestic purposes. Obama’s already promised a new sort of “security detail” for America, and I’d bet the farm that this is step #1 in that implementation.
America’s dominated all of the wars in which She’s engaged because she owned the air and the sea. If the Feds own the air with drones, any attempts by civilians to rise against the Federal government will be met with drone attacks.
This is checkmate, really. I’ve seen the post that answers “what good is one citizen with a gun against an army?” That answers the question for ground operations, but owning the air... I’d like to see a corollary to that.
They’ve already got the work-around on that one, the proposal is for commercial drones. That means somebody besides the military. What I can’t seem to find anywhere is the justification for this. We won’t secure a border, but we will put thousands of drones into the air, to secure what, exactly?
