we still have the nsa/tsa/etc telling us we could be awash of them.

Maybe we should tell them we need more drones (to feel more safe).

Of course, could also be because we are not a country with mostly brown people that we can kill and no one cares about (drone someone here and I bet there would be a lot of news and people upset - especially if it were kids).

USA is #1, all other people are...well...disposable.

No cases of armed drones targeting anyone "suspected of robbing a liquor store"?

And even if there were, I am sure some would adamantly defend it.
