"The FAA
is expected to announce plans to expand the use of domestic drones
in American airspace. These would be similar to the unmanned aircraft
that the U.S. has been using to target terrorists abroad. In the U.S.,
the surveillance systems would be used to track terrorists, drug dealers
or to find missing children. But critics warn that the use of drones
presents a major threat to our personal privacy.
Jonathan
Hunt reports that there could be as many as 30,000 drones flying
overhead within the next decade.
Judge Andrew Napolitano
commented that officials don’t have the authority to spy on us from
above and that “bureaucrats gave themselves the authority to capture
images of us in the privacy of our backyards.”"(1)
Unfortunately this is what can happen, with the use of some technology. The growth of ability to use it, coupled by political pressures.
