Congress Opens US Airspace For Drones

This entails lots of questions as the arcraft

is now available for an average citizen.
How this bill implementation could harm your privacy and safety is one of the main concerns.

  1. 30,000 Domestic Drones to Fill Our Skies, Civil Liberties at Risk

    A bill has passed in the House and Senate this week
    that would allow the presence of drones in U.S. civilian airspace.
    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act
    requires the FAA to alleviate many current rules on domestic drone authorization.
    Drones would now be able to fly in the same airspace as commercial airliners,
    private planes,
    and cargo jets.
    Up to 30,000 drones could be allowed in U.S. airspace by the end of the decade.

    The Senate passed the bill on Monday, 75-20 and allots $63.4 billion to the FAA.
    President Obama is expected to sign it into law.

  2. Holy Crap! thats scary stuff alright. Considering the vast number of different technologies a drone encompasses, this goes well beyond “big brother is watching you” more like “big brother can do whatever he wants,whenever he wants, and look out, he,s hovering over your head!”.

I have read and agree with the terms and conditions.

Read the truth about the MMR-autism connection. Visit callous-disregard.com to buy this excellent book that exposes the corruption of the vaccine manufacturers and regulators and support the courageous doctor who has done more than anyone else to warn parents about the risks of the MMR vaccine.
