Exposed: FBI Is Behind Mysterious Low-Flying Planes; They Take High-Res Video, Snoop On Cell Phones
This May 25 AP photo in Virginia shows one of the planes.
The FBI is operating a “small air force” of mysterious small planes that fly low to the ground, take detailed surveillance video, and perform secret cell phone surveillance – and hiding it all by pretending the planes are owned by private companies, the Associated Press reports.
And most of the time, it’s done without a warrant or a judge’s approval.
The report comes amid stories of people being startled by low-flying planes above businesses and homes. In one recent 30-day period, the FBI flew above 30-plus cities in 11 states, AP said. It is believed the agency owns at least 100 aircraft.
“The program raises questions about whether there should be updated policies protecting civil liberties as new technologies pose intrusive opportunities for government spying,” AP reported.
FBI officials apparently only confirmed the use of the airplanes following an AP investigation. They’ve operated under more than a dozen fake company names: FVX Research, KQM Aviation, NBR Aviation and PXW Services. The FBI actually asked the AP not to disclose the names of the companies, but AP declined. The FBI implied it now will set up new fake companies.
