Nice looking aircraft. I don’t want it flying missions over U. S. soil.

Embarassing how many people have been suckered into the MSM-generated "drone" paranoia.

The US military has been testing, training on, and practicing with manned military aircraft in the US for 100 years. I don't understand why it's suddenly a cause for mass panic when they are unmanned.

For me it’s the same as having F-15s roaming around the country looking for trouble. If there is a verifiable threat, then of course they should be up there. Otherwise no.

Training is one thing. Doing work for the EPA or some other government agency over our interior, no.

There’s also the issue of privacy. The government shouldn’t be flying over our citizen’s property spying on them.

If there is a court order due to reasoned concern about a physical threat, then of course there is valid reason to use drones. On general principle though, I do not approve of these drones being able to fly anywhere they want any time they want.

The government has reasonable areas they declare off limits.

My property under normal circumstances is reasonably off limits to them.
