“”The drones belong to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which operates eight Predators on the country’s northern and southwestern borders to search for illegal immigrants and smugglers.””

Homeland Security is domestic law enforcement. There are some smaller UAV’s that are now being marketed to local law enforcement for aerial surveillance.

Yeah, my antennae went up when the local news reported Homeland Security raided a couple of stores that were selling knock-off purses and CD's. You couldn't be more right!

Since they belong to Customs and Border Protection, why the hell weren’t they being used to patrol the border, stop smuggling and illegal immigation instead of looking for 3 guys who “brandished” on private property - whatever the hell that might be - in freakin North Dakota.
