Dan presents a whole new perspective on “drones”. He makes a lot of sense. The Fed doesn’t need a million dollar mosquito-sized drone to take me out. All they have to do is threaten me with a tax audit!

That mystique around the drone has been partly created by the anti-war movement, the same way that the anti-gun movement has built a special mystique around the assault rifle...The anti-war movement did that with nuclear weapons. Then it extended that aura of menace to nuclear power plants. Now it's doing it with drones.

I"ve been trying to convey the above for a while but this is much better-written. And it's the anti-war movement along with the media, as well, and it's suckered a lot of people on FR into wetting themselves in fear at the mere mention of the word "drone" or panic at the idea that some some college has a few research UAVs a hundred miles away.
