Government out of control ping!
FAA is not going to buy into the use of a like that in unregualated airspace.
Napolean Dynamite's grandma might be in trouble when she leaves "kasadillas" for the boys and goes out to the dunes for some reckless behavior.
I bet they would make good target practice for Idahoans.
I didn't know they raised hackles in Idaho. I thought it was potatoes.
We don't have the money to watch the mehicon border, but look out for those law breakers in Idaho! Say, didn't the Weaver's used to live there?
And satellites owned by the government can already see eastern Idaho, anyway. Even Google Earth can get very close in (though it isn't live).
Ahhh, yes...
"...the wave of the future..."
Nothing to see here folks...Move along...Move along...
Now we know something else they can get the UAV's to do, now that they'll be based at Ellington Field in the Houston area...
Great...
My guess is that the locals would quickly find out if the buggers could be brought down with a .30-06.
Wingspan 4 ft?
Flight duration 5 hours?....BS meter is starting to ping badly now.
Lookin for them mary ju wanna growers.
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.
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.

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.
