So, basically, they expect that by next year, we should start seeing UAVs flying around in the homeland. I can see all kinds of up-sides to this, from civilian uses to security uses. But, alas, there are so many more down-sides.

Conspire on.....

If you read through the second article, you'll see that they cover a few of the "up-sides". But, with our current situation over here, I can agree with your statement. Which is why its in the Conspiracy Forum.

Once they become the norm, you wont mind em so much. You'll get used to them watching while you scratch your butt and what not. Its no biggy.

Indeed. Keep in mind recently there was some dimwit who thought he'd plan a Terrorist attack using this technology, recently I came across a really awesome civilian "FPV aircraft" company called Team Blacksheep that appear to sell complete kits. They have also filmed some incredible footage using them, I certainly recommend watching them for entertainment purposes. *Dear Santa* Now to figure out what the FAA and local laws are in regards to operating these things in the states... I'm sure they are more than restrictive.


Heck if you're talking about shooting down UAVs with a 12 gauge, I'd say have a bit more fun and buzz them with your own UAVs. Assuming, that is, that you don't mind having Homeland Security come take you for a ride for an indefinite amount of time to an undisclosed location.

In all honesty though, law enforcement borne UAVS flying around really wouldn't bother me too much, considering that everywhere we go we are on camera already, that is until I see one hovering at my window.

Hehe! I was going to comment earlier, I wonder how long it will be before some back yard tinkerer takes one down.

Some of those punkin' chunkin cannons could probably get the job done. =]

Does anyone know if these drones are going to be armed? I guess the FAA is still figuring out the regulations, so it might not be known yet. Are they simply for observation or will they be equipped with weapons?

That is exactly what I was thinking about, the drones are nothing but crap they have a very poor history wherever they have been used, is nothing but a waste of tax payer dollars, they will be falling out of the ski like death birds and become a hazard to humans in the street, I can not wait to see how the project backfired without any human intervention.
