FAA May Allow Combat Drones for Nonmilitary Use
Guess the FEDs have finally got tired of Rambone. Looks like a UAV attack on his unknown location will finally silence him.

Love how the article gets it right "...continued militarization civilian law enforcement".

It could be argued that military training due to lessons learned in our most recent bout of unpleasantness in the MidEast has taken its door-kicking TTPs from lessons learned by SWAT teams of police agencies. Unmanned aerial vehicles MAY turn out to be more cost-effective and less expensive than manned aircraft - that still remains to be seen, but any new technology can be misused and we've yet to see how this particular technology will be employed.

Dear Mr. Orwell:

I am pleased, and saddened to inform you that you were off in your 1984 predictions, but only in the year itself. For the most part all the items you predicted have come to pass.

In your book, you listed approximately 120 items that would be found in a "Big Brother" state, and about 110 of them have come to pass including cameras everywhere, and a government asking family members to report on things the others in the family are doing that might be considered ok under the former constitution, but no longer allowed.

So Mr. Orwell, you can rest in peace secure in the knowledge that you predicted things, and gave this great country a warning, and instead they took your book and used it as their new Bible.

Sincerely,

One who will not be a subject.
