[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2101355, member: 18914"] For heaven's sake - read the complete stories before jumping to conclusions: - The drones have only been cited as being used for search purposes. How is that different than if they used helos or Fixed wing manned aircraft for search purposes? - The $1 million dollar reward is for information leading to his arrest not a bounty "on his head" as someone very dramatically but highly misleadingly stated I think most Americans are, in fact, for strict limits on drone use in the U.S. - basically the same limits as for manned surveillance. All drones do is allow longer dwell times and limit risk to pilots - for example searching in bad weather - but when you fly off the handle and spread misleading and inaccurate commentary it makes the credibility of your own argument drop dramatically. As for using weaponized drones - same basic issue. It will probably be possible to build a political coalition against such use except under extremely limited circumstances but this particular case hasn't YET become the test case you are implying it is.
