What this article doesn't explore is - what else can your government use drones against you for? Sure, the first thing that comes to mind is a "Kent State" overreaction that would have Obama - or another president - call out the drones, but what if their use is more discreet? What if we're using them to spy on American citizens and record/report their activities? What if some brainiac decides to conduct health "experiments" that involve dropping chemicals or worse on the populace? I know these are (right now) far-fetched scenarios, and I probably sound like I'm typing from a bunker in Idaho, but this is the kind of thing that seems to invite disaster even by its introduction. Very Orwellian.
