    Outlawing it means the government shouldn't be in that business period. Allowing the government to run a drone program, and regulating the hell out of it, is a hell of a lot more "big government" than the government simply not running a drone program.

    The feds are so bloated because they do all these things they shouldn't, like enforce drug laws and such.. They should do what the Constitution tells them to do, and leave everything else up to the states. And if the states want to, they can when it's not unconstitutional, and if they don't, then it doesn't get done.

    In addition to the mystery amount of hundreds of billions spent, can you imagine how much global warming it must make to provide all the electricity for all these giant NSA supercomputers to store everybody's pointless twitter messages?

    Probably not UAV planes.. But they now can make spy bugs that look and behave like insects. Maybe that'll be the next NSA revelation!

    Obviously they would deploy them for people they do actually want to watch.

    It was a toy helicopter, but the CIA has been caught spying on it's own oversight committee. What does that tell you?

    Checking what numbers are being dialed and where calls are coming from, oh my. Would your tune change if it stopped an attack that killed your family? Me thinks it would.

    Personally I cannot answer the question because I am unsure how I would feel if a terrorist attacked harmed my family. Hell I would have nuked the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of Afghanistan after 9-11, pointed the next batch at Mecca, dared the bastards to try again and see what happens.

    Show me where the spying on American people has stopped one attack. How has our loss of 4th amendment rights made us safer?

    What happens when the political winds change and liberals are the "bad guys". Will you still be supportive?

    I do not consider the Cons bad guys, they are my fellow Americans. As long as the drones are used to fight terror and crime I have no problem with their use, besides the government has the technology and they Will use it no matter which Party is in control, so you might as well wrap your mind arouind that fact. The best thing is to try and set down rules of their use, instead of whining both sides need to do their job on the matter.
