You seem to be implying that you’re not concerned about drones because you don’t have anything to hide or because you don’t have the ability to hide anything from current technology anyway.

What about NSA surveillance? Does that concern you? You probably don’t have anything to hide in your phone calls/emails anyway and you likely don’t have the tools to hide everything from the NSA. So why be concerned?

Am I misunderstanding your position?

Buckeye,

The fact of the matter is that we have no privacy anymore. The government likely spies on us in ways we have no idea about anymore. With that in mind I don’t see the thought of citizens having this capability as a threat but as a check on the government because WE can watch THEM too.

IMHO arguing that only the government should have drones (or RC helicopters) is the same as saying that only the government should have guns. It’s just not a good idea.
