That headline is straight out of the LA Times in case you think I'm one of those conspiracy types making this up.
And it's not what you think. Of course those combat drones won't be doing combat over America, sniffing out the next David Koresh and putting the Hellfire into the hell fire those whackos are bound for anyway.
Or putting paid to some hippie back-to-the-lander in Vermont who hasn't paid his taxes in fifteen years.
Or taking out all those al-Qaeda pot plots that the Mexican cartels have established in Northern California over the past few years.
No, the Pentagon wants to fly these death drones in American airspace for peaceful purposes.
Like search and rescue. American hikers don't just run into trouble in Iran. Every day there are folks who take a wrong turn on the Appalachia Trail and then it takes days or even weeks of search parties to find them. A drone will find them in no time.
And what about missing children? Death drones will become drones of delight when they recover toddlers who wandered away from their nursery school.
How about outfitting them for weather and traffic reports at your local news stations?
What about getting rid of those big blimps that always fly around major sporting events and replacing them with a few inconspicuous drones?
How about we use a drone to drop the eggs at the Central Park Easter Egg Hunt?
There are literally thousands of peaceful uses for combat drones in American airspace.
So don't worry about it.
