You likely can’t get one in time for the big day, or maybe you can (did you?), but think of all the sleep the anti-gun lefties will lose thinking about how to regulate them. Common sense flamethrower-drone laws. Moms for…something.

Where Else is the FBI Flying Drones to Surveil Americans?
While the FBI did near to nothing to intervene in the months of riots that took place last summer, one they did do was fly surveillance drones. Why?
Police Using Drones to Keep Beaches Empty and to Identify Unmasked Residents in Public
Police in Australia deployed drones to enhance their COVID19 enforcement duties. Aerial surveillance will make sure the beaches, playgrounds, and skate parks are empty and that people in public parks are wearing masks.

Palate Cleanser – It’s a freaking laser!

When you think of being able to target a drone, or a swarm of drones, all moving all over the place, this is a rather amazing bit of kit. And fits in the back of a truck!
Skynet – Do You Know Where Artificial Intelligence is Going or How Fast it’s Getting “There”
Did you know those chips in your computer are doubling roughly every two years? Did you know AI is growing exponentially? Do you know what quantum computing is? Think about this, quantum computing will make today’s supercomputers look like pocket calculators.
Drones, Borders, Policing & Privacy
The situation: Imagine you’re out for a walk. There’s an unfamiliar mechanical buzzing. You start to scan for the source and realize there are drones in the area. They notice you. How the system might work: The antennae on the drones and an associated ground vehicle, which you may not have noticed, pick up the … Read more

Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter (Progressive-NH) blows off constituent concerns; deja vu all over again?
by Skip
Heck, I’m still waiting for her to fulfill her promise that she made to me during her first time in Congress – so why am I not surprised? After all, back in 2008 she told a Republican woman, a member of one of NH’s “main Republican families”, to her face that “You are not my constituent” because of her party affiliation (even though she lived in Carol SEIU-Porter’s district). Well, another loyal reader has had a run in with Carol Shea-Porter’s cubicle minions – here is the sordid tale of trying to get a simple answer to a simple question on drones:
So, last week, I made a few phone calls to our “representatives” in DC. My concern was the possibility of drone strikes on any America citizen deemed a “terrorist” ON American soil. Well, as you well know, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, many of the Tea Party affiliated folks are considered “terrorists.” Shocking? You bet! But fact. Anyhow, I called Kelly’s office and was assured she would not be supporting anything such as this act which could strike someone without due process, no trial, no defense … etc. I called Sen. Shaheen’s office and spoke to a nice young woman who said that she would give my thoughts to the Senator. (Sorry, I actually did get the names of the people I spoke to at the Senators’ offices, but I have misplaced that note at this point.) Then I called Ms. Shea-Porter’s office, where I was confronted with a less-than-cordial young woman staffer. When I told her that I wanted to know where Ms. S-P stood on the drone strike on American soil issue, the girl acted as though she knew nothing about it. I asked her to ask the Congresswoman please stand up for the Constitution, and support our rights, since this arbitrary way of using drones on American soil on American people was a complete contradiction of our Constitutional rights to a fair trial and due process. She started laughing. I was outraged. I hung up.
Below is the letter I received today in answer to my phone call.
Anwar Al-Awlaki????? Really???? A form letter? Oh goody. If it’s not her sending them, it’s Jeanne Shaheen. How very personal. And my name is misspelled. This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what I called for. Argh. To deal with this situation for another 2 years!
Drone Hypocrisy?
by Tom
Sitting here, watching the 13th hour of Rand Paul’s Senate filibuster, I see a lot of angst on Twitter about Senator Kelly Ayotte’s conspicuous absence from the #StandWithRand party in the US Capitol.
Now, I wasn’t able to watch the entire event, so I am not sure if Kelly showed up earlier to add her input. However, her absence, immediately following her “Cool Kid” dinner this evening with Obama at the swanky Jefferson hotel, is certainly concerning.
Yikes. Just…yikes.

Headlines from yesterday’s Daily Mail Online: “U.S. Air Force developing terrifying swarms of tiny unmanned drones that can hover, crawl and even kill targets. The Micro Air Vehicles will work in swarms to provide complex surveillance of a battlefield. They can also be armed with incapacitating chemicals, combustible payloads or even explosives ‘for precision targeting capability’.” … Read more
