They forgot to mention that it’s our civil right to be spied upon.

If the spy drones collecting data are owned operated by private companies, not the government, they are not violating the letter of the Constitution. The government can purchase information collected by private firms.

Consider the amount of personal data collected by private companies today. Also the pictures of private property on Google Earth and other websites, collected without the permission of the owners. Not to mention the private and publicly owned security cameras proliferating in public and private spaces. In our high technology world, privacy is becoming very rare.
