Make that a NFW.
We are supposedly protected by the 4th Amendment. I understand the out in public bit, but those rules were written before this type of technology was imagined let alone existed.
Then there are these gadgets that can download what you have on your cell phone / i pad or computer in your house by pointing something at you.
The 4th Amendment protects people not places.
Do you approve of Drones flying over the US spying on us.

BS.
Wrong is wrong. If I am fired for being right, I'll walk away and wont even attempt looking back.
terrorists or kidnappers? Now, if you are spending your grocery money on crack cocaine
or meth, you might want to dress up in a wig and costume, just in case the DEA is watching the alley right now. And, of course, if you whip out your pistol down there in Indiana or Texas and shoot a policeman, the drone just might drop something on your
rusting Honda Accord that will spread it all over the highway. I think the answer to this question sorta depends on what one does when not busy with the day job, don't you?
complex is our world than theirs, although some minds remain fixed on selfishness and determine to be uncooperative. The "Unabomber" and Charles Manson were much like that. Sometimes society just has to put them away and move on with what is necessary and useful to the 99.9% who benefit from progress.
All in the name of Progress.... Wow.. sounds like moving backward to the days of Julius Caesar and King Herod, That would be Regressing, not Progressing.
your mind with anxiety disorders.
"In December, the American Civil Liberties Union published a detailed report on the dangers of a massive build-up of surveillance drones within the US, warning that “our privacy laws are not strong enough to ensure that the new technology will be used responsibly and consistently with democratic values.”
Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst at the ACLU, described last month a scenario of widespread drone spying leading “to an oppressive atmosphere where people learn to think twice about everything they do, knowing that it will be recorded, charted, scrutinized by increasingly intelligent computers, and possibly used to target them.”
This is a dark world of high technology that can be used in an instant as a weapon against the U.S. and any community. Obviously the Govy wouldn't be spending money on drones or other technology just for the fun of it, not when so many other things are needed. The fact that Congress passed the laws and provided the funds should tell you that they are better informed and concerned than you.
Frankly, I think we would be much better off if everyone did "think twice" about the things they do. There certainly would be less crime, fewer murders and robberies, children would be safer in the park, and the carnage on highways surely would lessen.
There are more than 320 million American...

There are more than 320 million Americans now alive. There can't be a drone for each of us, not one for even each 1,000 of us. These machines will have special purposes, be used in special ways for reasons we don't understand at this time and need not become paranoid and make delusions to fit some conspiracy theories.
Where you and I differ is in trust level. I do not trust our government. None of it, including congress. You do.
The ACLU will do what the ACLU does - sometimes protecting us from overreach, other times representing those who would destroy all that is good and decent. Lacking any moral compass or objectives, they can argue both sides of most every issue. We need more like ACLU, just to assure we are thinking and not being led by bigots and extremists, or conspiracy theorists.
I am against socialism. I do not believe in the nanny state.
