This is a good thing Someday your electric car will have to communicate with a drone for purposes of warning you are about to get a ticket and then if you don't heed the warning you will receive a summons in the mail.

People already take pot shots at private and commercial drones. Could imagine the headline now picturing some red neck in a trophy photo with a can of 'Bud' in one hand and his shotgun in the other. Standing next to the smoldering heap of a MQ series drone he shot down. 'Merica!

You all are aware that the DoD has flown those drones on missions over U.S. civilian airspace going back to 2011 are you not?

I've seen them a few times in my travels.
Also saw those Blimps they were testing at one time.

I worked with balloon boats Gulf Sentry and Windward Sentry at certain locations around the Bahamas when I ran FCI's. Those RADAR Balloons would extend thousands of feet into the air and could pick out a needle in a haystack sitting on the back deck of a freighter a 100miles away.
The FCI's weren't as fast as some but it sure could handle the seas, racing across the tops of the waves like as rocket sled. What a great time that was. Officially FCI was short for Fast Coastal Interceptor. But like many government operations they soon became known as the Fast Cash Incinerator.

Blimps I saw were out around New Mexico I think it was.
Probably along 40 out that way like 7 years ago or better? May even have been back in 2010 or so that I saw them. Been so long and so many trips! I do recall seeing them on the way West and then again on the way back East. Not something you see out in the middle of no where every day!

If Yeltsin was still around, you could probably buy a SAM network for cheap.

Build an aerodrome and do what they did 100 years ago, to deal with pesky spy balloons.
