I mean shit, most every city already has near 24/7 helicopters full
of cops, FBI, et. al. buzzing around, not to mention surveillance
cameras every 10-12 feet of public space.

So why exactly do we need drones spying on US citizens again?

I thought the whole idea of drones is to avoid putting US combatants in
harms way by piloting an aircraft that could likely be shot down. And
I've not been hearing of such things happening in the good old USA ...
have you?

So again I must ask, WTF is up with surveillance drones operating in this
country?
