For unwanted Drone control.

For unwanted Drone control.
I've never seen that. I had the B-52s song in mind...
YOU da ho!
The terrain images of uninhabited areas in Google Earth are way out of date. The images of our farm date from July, 2002, and our area is positively swarming with people compared to eastern Idaho. Government satellites rarely take close-in images of the west the way these drones will be able to.
Knowing something about how the environmentalists work in the west, this is hardly a good development for any private property owner.
He's right to be suspicious. Around here, the environmentalists used satellite monitoring to go after the local irrigation companies, and take their water for "endangered" fish.
"Do we have to grab our pitchforks and our guns?"
Yes, that's a start. Rural America is dealing with a fascist and communist bureaucratic infestation from the criminal syndicate occupying Washington. Thinking like that places you on the "Go" square in the stupid game the crook politicians are forcing on us.
Here's a zen koan to solve: How is it possible for a house member to sit in congress for 6 years and become a multi-millionaire?
A correct answer advances you to square No. 2.
Two years ago, a team of R/C modelers constructed a 5 foot
wingspan model and flew it across the Atlantic non-stop.
Radio controlled at the start and end, GPS auto-pilot for
the rest. Landed in Ireland. So five hours isn't out of
the question.

Did the BLM *ever* strike you as having anyone anywhere bright enough to purchase something that advanced?
Sounds like the classic case of a FedGov hammer looking for nails. Note the reference to fire spotting. (rolls eyes)
Walt, Duty may call upon us again...Ping
The danged thang is housed and controlled from a base right up the road from here at that base up by Marysville! They gots this room filled with danged teenaged geeks gittin off on wigglin their little joysticks around and around, to reconoiter alla us rednecked radickles... Ha Ha Ha!!!
Yep! The fricken inmates are runnin the asylum. Even Rush was startin to figure that out and confirm it on today's show!!!
The boarder crossing from Canada to the US into Idaho are much concern to me. This vast stretch of landscape where the boarder is very uncertain. Unless you have a GPS.
I'm Idaho born and raised and I guarantee Idaho grows plenty of kinds of hackles in addition to spuds. There's plain old garden hackle, nearly any size you need from little reds to big crawlers; Strung Chinchilla, Indian Rooster Saddle Patches, Indian Hen Backs, Spey Hackle, Whiting Hackle, Keough Hackle, Metz Hackle, any kind of feathers you want plus lots more. What kinds of flies and streamers do you tie?

The DOI flew a fixed wing down the canyon at low elevations to do videography on the river. It drove cattle into fences out of fear.
Cattle can be set off by weird flying things. I remember seeing a heard of cattle stampeding up a trail with a panda hot air baloon hovering behind them. (It was hillarious and I never will forget it.)
The drone might also interfere with threatened and endangered birds and their nesting.
This is also a matter of privacy. I have no doubt that the drone would speedily find itself in pieces if it flew over areas of my district.
