[1]cnet-declan writes "Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been
flying over Iraq and Afghanistan, but now the Bush administration
wants to use them for [2]domestic surveillance. A top Homeland
Security official told Congress today, according to this CNET News.com
article, that: "We need additional technology to supplement manned
aircraft surveillance and current ground assets to ensure more
effective monitoring of United States territory." One county in North
Carolina is already using UAVs to [3]monitor public gatherings. But
what happens when lots of relatively dumb drones have to share
airspace with aircraft carrying passengers? A pilot's association is
[4]worried."
