Why do we need drones flying over the US?

I thought they were instruments of war?

To make sure you have a permit for the shed you are building in your backyard. :corn:

I'm not worried about them crashing into my house, or them looking for building code violations. I'm concerned where the activities lead to next and what other technologies or weapons will be employed by these things, autonomously. Or the ability of foreigners to hack in and use them against us from remote locations. Things we aren't currently aware of or have a problem with, but we don't care what happens in the future, just at the momement. I look at them as outsourcing the job you and i may have needed to a robot. If robots did everyones job, why would they need us anymore? It goes back to the frog in the pot, it's getting bubbly in here.

Drones are a tool of warfare, and useful when you don't want to risk the life of a human, not to control the poplulation.

Im a prick and will bring this up.
I dont really care about the army guys that died.

That's pretty lame, even though your caveat was correct.
