I don’t know if this is accurate or not but the timing of the news stories make me think that it is. I noticed that the Global Hawk program was cancelled and that new considerations were placed on the U2 and it’s derivative programs. My guess is because the “sentinel” drone was brought down by the Iranians through Electronic Countermeasures. It that is true then all of these types of drones will be susceptible to one degree or another to that type of threat.
If that is true then we will see here in America new and sweeping legislation and regulations to keep an and all types of transmitters out of civilian hands so that the drones can’t be interfered with by the masses.
You know, I never thought I would live to see a Police State here in the United States, but it is on the cusp of becoming a full blown reality.
You never did? It’s been a looming possibility for as long as I’ve been politically aware, nearly 20 years.
I don’t think this is a surprise is it? They already cleared the air space for it to take place.
Just wait until someone messes up and starts posting the shots of people nude sunbathing in their back yards.
It’s the eye in the sky. I don’t like it one bit.
