“[Drones are a]
game-changing technology, akin to gunpowder, the steam engine, the atomic
bomb—opening up possibilities that were fiction a generation earlier but also
opening up perils that were unknown a generation ago.”—Peter Singer, senior
fellow at the Brookings Institution
That must be acknowledged
from the outset. There is too much money to be made on drones, for one, and too
many special interest groups—from the defense sector to law enforcement to the
so-called “research” groups that are in it for purely “academic” reasons—who
have a vested interest in ensuring that drones are here to stay.
At one time, there was a
small glimmer of hope that these aerial threats to privacy would not come home
to roost, but that all ended when Barack Obama took office and made drones the
cornerstone of his war efforts. By the time President Obama signed the FAA
Reauthorization Act into law in 2012, there was no turning back. The FAA opened
the door for drones, once confined to the battlefields over Iraq and Afghanistan , to be used
domestically for a wide range of functions, both public and private,
governmental and corporate. It is expected that at least 30,000 drones will
occupy U.S.
airspace by 2020, ushering in a $30 billion per year industry.
