Drones are becoming all too familiar these days, a few headlines:The United States in collaboration with Felipe Calderon are sending unarmed drones into Mexico
in what they claim is an attempt to track drug lords in the region.
Although who can judge the true intent when a senior member of the ATF admits
that America puts guns in the hands of drug cartel members south of the border.
I previously recounted my 4th of July experience
as a drone in my hometown of Salem, MA continuously whizzed overhead amidst the fireworks
reminding us that even on our "day of independence" we are far from a free people.
Now the FAA has divulged its wishes to have aerial drones encompassing all U.S. cities by 2013.
But drones are not exclusive to the U.S. or the lands our soldiers occupy,
Brazil is under fire for spending $350 million on drones it purchased from Israel.
