Federal agencies are building their own domestic surveillance drone fleet

Yikes.  The Border Patrol got their own drones a decade ago, and have since lent out their unmanned spy planes to other agencies 700 times.  Homeland Security is getting its own fleet too.  Congress loves the idea, and even holds something called a “drone fair” on Capitol Hill.  The BATF has $600,000 worth of drones, and they have the gall to say they don’t use them.  And then there was the admission last week by the Pentagon that they flew spy missions over the US.  But don’t worry. You’ve got nothing to hide, right?
