It isn’t just this administration that is going to use drones. There is no reason to sound like an old luddite that’s afraid of new technology. LOTS of people, organizations, groups, law enforcement, etc, are going to use drones. Everyone from media, universities, businesses, local law enforcement, state law enforcement, feds, even individuals will be using them.
Obsessing over a technology is silly. Most drones in the world are not going to have hellfire missiles hanging from them. In fact the vast majority will probably be replacing/supplementing the helicopters role in dealing with traffic, law enforcement issues, etc. There will be drones for weather spotting, security at public events, individuals that want to monitor their property, etc. Drones are here to stay, obsessing over them is dumb.
Just because something is possible doesn’t make it good or right.
The idea or reality of being spied on from above should be repugnant to any persn,especially Americans who claim to be free.
Who is “obsessing over technology”? Technology is not the point.
The point is that we are becoming a fully-surveilled police state.
What’s “dumb” is doing the exact thing that societies before us have done—incrementally giving up a little liberty for a little security, until we are fully serfs. Oh, yes, we are.
