60,000-70,000 Drones In US Skies By 2020

(Before It's News)

 

It’s now estimated that by the end of this decade, 60,000 – 70,000 drones operated by various federal and local governments will be flying over the United States on a regular basis. The opposition to this technological revolution fears these devices will invade citizen privacy, and that they might even be used for government assassinations the way they are used in some foreign countries.
 
So lets get this straight.  They use drones to spy on people and kill people overseas and now they want to use drones here.  Why would they want to do that you suppose?   Your nieve if you think they want drones in America to do anything different than what they do overseas.  Drones are drones are drones. -Mort

  • It is so confronting to know that these drones will (1) make Obama’s henchmen richer, (2) will make me poorer, (3) will use my tax dollar to spy on me, (4) and will scan the best spots for Obungler to take more of his much needed vacations. (Why move to Russia, when you can be enslaved here?) Save that money, Obama’s parasite’s need it for their well deserved welfare checks.

  • Most likely all ready here..if they are in the mid east they are in our mid west bet if you get a close look at a drone it will say “Made in China”……very true hangman… those welfare checks are just another form of gratitude for the vote…gotta remember the government is the “babies daddy”

  • When will the hunting season for these open?
    sounds like a fun time!

  • I think Obama may be a Drone!

  • YAY!! Fact-free posting! Not one source for this outside of an internal link and no one will bother to question it. And it’s everyone ELSE that are “kool-aid drinkers”.

  • Still no word on the EMP guns to shoot these suckers out of your backyards…….feel they are coming though.

  • Who pays for the Drones? Seems to me, we have enough budget problems. I can see an ignorant government paying for them and shorting everyone on Social Security. Our government needs priorities!
    What is going to keep them out of air traffic lanes? I think we are begging for a problem. I can just see a collision in the skies happening if the drones are operated wrong.
    Who man’s the drones? Do they have pilot licenses? I can just see a malfunctioning drone hitting someone’s house! How? The drone hits a dead spot where no radio control signals can get in. Or the drone has a mechanical problem. Who is libel for the damages or deaths of civilians in a case like that?

    • I agree with those above…new tech will make the drones a new sport shooting hobby.

  • Drones V people, :shock:
    ITS DAVID AND GOLIATH ALL OVER AGAIN, :sad:
    THE MIGHTY TAKING ON THE SMALL. :evil:
    WELL DO WHAT DAVID DID, :idea:

    GET YOURSELF A CATAPULT OR IF YOU ARE GOOD LIKE DAVID A SLINGSHOT, :lol:
    THE DRONES CANNOT PICK UP STONES ” RADAR” :cool:
    THE MORE PEOPLE THAT FIRE AT THE DRONE WITH A CATAPULT/SLINGSHOT WILL KNOCK IT OF BALANCE AND MAYBE OFF COURSE , THE LEAST IT CAN DO IS BEND ITS PROPELLOR.
    FIRE AND NOT BE SEEN, NO GUN SMOKE, NO FLASH, NO RESIDUE IF THE COPS COME SNIFFING,
    STONES ARE A PLENTY , NO COST ( EXCEPT FOR CATAPULT/SLINGSHOT ), NO BAN ON GUNS? :grin: EVEN KIDS CAN USE THEM ,NO AGE LIMIT, YOU CAN EVEN HAVE A CATAPULT/SLINGSHOT PARTY ,GET THE NEIGHBOURS TOGETHER. ITS ENDLESS HAVE FUN ,
    HAVE BETS ON WHO WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO KNOCK THE FIRST DRONE OUT OF THE SKY :lol: , WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN KNOCKING ONE OUT OF THE BLUE , USE THE PARTS FOR COMPUTORS ,BARBECUE ,GIVE THE BOYS SOMETHING TO PLAY WITH (PLANE ),

    ITS UP TO YOU , BUT IT DOES SOUND LIKE FUN DUNNIT.

    • Um. The bible is fiction.

  • If I see one I will shoot it down. :twisted:

  • This is very bad if there is a revolution towards change. The US may be attempted to stop just by the government. We must partition to stop this, they cannot release this amount of drones over the US. You all need to stand together and stop this evil from occurring.

    Well that is my opinion anyway, the US need to band together to stop this. You as a people need to stop this. get people to unite as one. They may have given you a way to get everyone to trust in the single cause to stop the government laying down hard controls on you.

    • agree however most likely the sheeple are already in the “pen” and the only ones left are those who realize whats is going on …you know the ones who are on the comp reading material like this?..wonder why the UN wants to monitor the internet?…got to keep an eye on those sheep that got away….they don’t want a revolution on their hands.

  • If Iran can land two of these, without a scratch, where are the innovative Americans, who can destroy the two way drone communication? Does anyone give a fuck? I know it is hard to fit in and still watch four hours of TV daily.

  • Graffiti in America 1969-2020

  • Good that will make them easier to hit. The govt isn’t spying on me for no reason.

  • There COULD be some less sinister uses for drones (search and rescue, surveying things like forest fires, etc.) but I think we all know that whatever clandestine things they can use them for, they will do!

  • They’re going to lay off big numbers of air traffic controllers as they announced MANY flight delays. How do they expect to monitor all those things flying around? I call B.S on the story. The sky is WAY too crowded.
