(34,845 posts)I'm not going to deny that they are because none of us really knows. But I've seen no evidence that they are and Snowden certainly hasn't provided any.
I'm sure the NSA gets plenty of data under a legal warrant and some of that includes correspondence not directly related to the suspect. But that happens all the time in any investigation and it's probably more likely to happen today with the ocean of data on the Internet that often gives no clue as to where it originated.
Drone surveillance is definitely useful under certain circumstances. If we need to have laws and regulations that forbid their use except under specific circumstances, I have no problem with that. And with all the security cameras in larger cities, drones wouldn't really add much.
My biggest worry about indiscriminate use of drones is what happens when one malfunctions, falls to the ground, injures someone, causes an accident? Too many flying devices without a specific purpose and an accident is bound to occur.
And same to you for the civility!
