Once the two aircraft are operational, they will still be under very tight control. They will only fly in the daytime and never above 400 feet. The operator must never lose sight of the aircraft and must be in contact with air traffic control at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

still under tight regulation. not too worried right now, its when those regulations get removed that i will be concerned.

It's a very slippery slope. Not to mention the US Attorney General Eric Holder has given some rather unsatisfactory answers as to whether Military drone strikes can occur over US soil. (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130306/06353722213/eric-holder-domestic-drone-strikes-eh-could-happen.shtml)This shit's gonna get abused to fuck.

And they say we have no justifiable reason to want flak cannons in our back yards.
