When the Air Force flies daily their recce platforms on training missions to practice, or to test new recce capabilities, is that a threat to privacy? What about our satellites, both commercial and military? Traffic cameras? Store cameras? The next-door neighbor and his remote-control aircraft out-fitted with a camera. . .etc. . .?
ANY technology, any capability COULD be used against any people, so in a way, yes it COULD be a threat to privacy.
Cruise missiles are a very real threat. We have them and used them (Tomahawk missiles are cruise missiles). Other countries have their own versions of cruise missiles and WILL use them if they can, and use them against us. Shouldn’t we take steps to protect ourselves from this threat?
How do we develop better methods to protect against this threat? While we have the capability now to shoot down the cruise missiles, we have very limited detection capability.
If we object to the development and testing of technology that can detect cruise missiles, how do you propose we develop this capability?
