When the Patriot Act was passed shortly after 9/11 many concerned activists warned that the legislation would soon be turned against the American people. A common response amongst the skeptics of this argument, was that “I’m not doing anything wrong, so I don’t have anything to worry about.” Well, tell that to the lady that was arrested and detained for 3 days for taking pictures at an airport recently. The examples of Patriot Act abuse, and encroachment upon the American people seems to be growing by the day as the Department of Homeland Security is expanding the TSA to grope citizens at bus-stops, railways, and at some point our highways too. The gradual expansion of the you’re guilty until proven innocent totalitarian ideology must be stopped now, for if it isn’t you’ll eventually realize that you waited too long to have any effect to stop it at all. The drones may be unarmed now, but they could never get away with announcing armed drones when people haven’t been conditioned into accepting drones being “normal” first, just like getting groped by the TSA at airports was necessary to set the stage for the expansion of the TSA/DHS onto highways, bus-stops, railways, and sporting events.

I have heard Katherine Albrecht (author of Spy Chips) report that Montgomery County, Texas was the first place to buy drones for domestic spying, now the city of Austin (as well as other communities around the country) are joining them.
Even the liberal ACLU has weighed in on this issue. As you can see in these two videos.
According to reports there are 63 approved locations for previously secret bases to conduct aerial drone flights for domestic spying operations. Below is that list. Notice the number of them that are in Texas. Likewise the sheer concentration of them in the D. C. area as well.

All this gives new meaning to the “The Eyes of Texas are Upon You,”
All this and the fears it raises, does make some consider shooting down these devices if they invade our own personal space. Whether it is the right or wrong answer, it is out there. I am not here to say, I am just reporting the buzz that I hear in the patriot community. Each individual patriot will have to decide in his/her heart what is right.
As for the police using these things, I don't like it. No matter how much they try to tell me I have nothing to fear. We have all heard that before.
