As long as I stop taking a pee in my back yard when I have muddy boots and can't be bothered to use the bathroom, I guess I have nothing to worry about. More of the left-wing garbage.
Maybe other folks are up to no good ............
Perhaps they should fly along the border with heat seeking machine guns. Who needs a fence and a border patrol that does very little?
Ah, but that would stop all the Lartino's voting for Obuma dumba dingdong!
Ironic, really. If Bush had put drones over the US there would be an outcry.

It's my understanding drones are already being used at US borders, and even some tunnels have been exposed because of their use. There’s plenty of legal issues that will be raised with use of these things, and I’m not to sure we’re not eventually going to be almost as visual as the TV show “Person of Interest” depicts. Maybe we already are? An FBI drone was used over the bunker that the old man in Alabama held the five year old boy in, so we can assume they are already used in other surveillance situations.

thewazak... you're an idiot.. drones were widely born out of the Bush Administration. The first targeted killings were under Bush's watch and the push for U.S. border drones comes from the Republicans you dimwit. In fact, most of the legislation is not about the government putting drones in the air, its about regulating private industry putting drones in the air.

So explain how this is a left winger issue.

So why didn't they use a couple of "hellfire" missiles? That would make others think twice!
Of course! Silly me! The illegals have the "civil right" to invade the US!

No.1 - Bush targeted combatants at war - not Jo Doe.
No.2 - The left wing loonies cried "foul!" and "Civil liberties!"
No.3 - Obama does it* and it OK - it just needs "regulating".
Hypocrisy, I say!
Don't worry: I didn't take your pathetic personal insult seriously.
(Obama has now used drones for killing more times than Bush.)

And we're back to the Dark Ages... only these time, we have weapons of technology. We had talks about this and what's intriguing is that using drones outside the US is totally fine for many, but within? It's a different story. How about making drone technology available for the ordinary citizen? I read someone planning to do just that and the last thing you want is your neighbor's drone hovering over your home. But then, there are good drones used to protect the environment. I guess, so long as the end justify the means - it's perfectly fine to use drones?

Dubbya, rated the sixth-worst president of all time, would have been prevented from putting drones over the U.S. 'cause Crazy Chaney
couldn't get an exclusive contract for'em for Haliburton.

Perhaps you mean "As long as I don't stop..."

One of the two bill co-sponsors is a republican.

Sounds like you're exactly one of the freaks that should be spied on.

There is an outcry. That's why there is a bi-partisan bill on this in Congress.

Dear drug lords, We're going to spy on you with drones. Just pretend there's no drone and everything'd be fine!

Dear smugglers, Please feel free to cross the borders because we can't have drones in this area. However....Even if you see one, they're not armed.

If you are not doing anything wrong don't worry about it. People just suck it uo and realize we are in the techno era and we are already being watched in ways you have no idea. So clean up your act and stop whining. I hope we are able to use this technology to bust those people doing things that make my world an unsafe place.

Never mind, GW will drop to seventh once Obuma dumba dingdong finishes his term and takes the No.1 spot!
