Civilian Drones

If you are like me, you probably have a slight interest in the whole drone industry which our society is becoming accustomed too. If you are not sure what I'm talking about read any number of articles about unmanned aircraft attacks in the Middle East. Regardless, there is a new push in the drone industry to try and market these spy planes for civilian use. An article on the Huffington Post discusses the lobby in charge of trying to rebrand the planes, so to speak.

Personally, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, these things could pose a great resource in commercial use such as delivering packages for UPS or FedEx to remote places for example. But on the other hand, this is really creepy. We already know of the spy capabilities that these things posses so who is to say that they won't be used on US citizens -if they aren't already. Only time will tell.
