Drones to patrol US protests?

[The Northerner]

In January of 2012, the US Congress passed legislation that will open up the US sky to unmanned drones. The robotic aircraft will be used for military and police operations and will add to America's current arsenal of around 7,000 drones. According to some accounts, peaceful protest might be a reason that feds would deploy the unmanned craft. There are currently 300 active drone permits in the US, but will that soon swell out of control? Amie Stepanovich, a member of the National Security Council for EPIC, joins us for more.

2. How people can be complacent about this is beyond me.

It's like the government has declared war on freedom and the country just shrugged.

While growing up in the 70's Americans regularly boasted how much better we had than the USSR and East Germany, because they were under constant surveillance.

Makes me ill.

I expect this from Rethuglicans.

This is fascism.
