Anyone forget this?

“Masses of spy drones set to swarm U.S. skies”

“It was an ironic Valentine’s Day for President Barack Obama as he signed new legislation which allows for an increased prevalence of spy drones in domestic airspace. This is not quite the gift American citizens were looking for from their Commander in Chief, whose signature graced the FAA Reauthorization Act last Tuesday without hesitation.”

“By 2015, it is expected that full-scale testing and licensing of commercial drones will occur, and that by 2020, more than 30,000 of these unmanned spy planes will patrol U.S. skies.”

“The spy drone industry is expanding rapidly, and it won’t be long before American citizens gaze into the sky with certain apprehension as to whether or not the plane they see in the distance has a human pilot in the cockpit.”
