"IMO, drones are over hyped. Aircraft with surveillance technology are nothing new, nor are remote control aircraft. Now that they've been combined, the sky is falling?"

Constant surveillance is bad enough. Surveillance with the threat of eliminating due process on that same token is a HUGE issue. I think those two facts coupled together should distress the vast majority of the population. This isn't a simple helicopter with IR and a bright spotlight. This is a potentially armed remote controlled war weapon. The problem is that they are taking away rights, slowly but surely. Sure, they can detect if someone is under arms. In most states that, in and of itself, is not illegal. This just sounds too nefarious to be true! We are becoming slowly cooked frogs! Hell, maybe the sky is falling...
