SCOTT WALKER AT CENTER OF CRIMINAL PROBE - Hugh Jass and Ben Dover could not be reached for comment. AP: " Newly released documents show prosecutors are alleging Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was at the center of a nationwide 'criminal scheme' to illegally coordinate with outside conservative groups. The documents were filed as part of an ongoing lawsuit challenging the probe by the conservative group Wisconsin Club for Growth. They were ordered publicly released Thursday by a federal appeals court judge after prosecutors and the Wisconsin Club for Growth did not object. One of the filings from prosecutors outlines previously unknown details about the investigation that began in 2012 as Walker was facing a recall election. Prosecutors say Walker, his chief of staff and others who worked for him were discussing illegal coordination with a number of national groups and prominent figures, including GOP strategist Karl Rove."

An interesting discussion on drones. Let's take a realistic approach. First, who labeled them drones ? I don't know. The FAA ? Some other govt. official ? Perhaps. You can be pretty sure it was someone who wanted to create panic with the general population. After all what is the first thing that comes to mind when you mention drone . . . . Spying ? Something hovering outside your bedroom window ? Or maybe your car or house suddenly blown up. The first ones ( hexacopters, octocopters, or whatever ). Were put together by hobbyists to try to capture images that otherwise required an expensive plane. Of all the articles and ads I have read none mention spying on your neighbors. Instead they show the usefulness of these vehicles as tools for documentation and education. And some just for the joy of flying them the same as any other model airplane. Someone is desperately trying to create a negative public image of these devices . . NSA perhaps ? I see tremendous positive potential for these things. Surveying, wildlife studies, photographing remote areas, emergency searches, unique photographic angles of difficult subjects . . . . . And I am sure there are dozens of uses which could eliminate having to use an expensive aircraft, not to mention photographing areas that conventional aircraft simply cannot safely access.

So what is the down side to this ? The most obvious answer would be IDIOTS.
Common sense should tell you not to fly near an airport or it's approach & take off points. Don't fly it down the highway, causing an unsafe distraction, do not fly near emergency operations i.e. Fire or police operations , do not Hoover outside your neighbors window. Don't be a show off or use it recklessly where you could endanger someone's health. DO NOT invade someone's privacy. Get permission - a little good will goes a long way.

I am all for this technology if used in a positive and responsible manner. It has so much positive potential.
