For purposes of full disclosure, I am in the electronic security business. I do a lot of CCTV work for hospitals, schools as well as municpalities. I agree, there is no expectation of privacy in public (seems kind of obvious but some people don't get it) however...what about your back yard? Do you have to give up your right to privacy to let some light into your 2nd floor window? What if the drone has infrared capability? Maybe super sensitive listening devices? If you see a manned helicopter hovering outside your bedroom window, you might be able to figure out something was up. On the other hand, a silent drone 18 inches long would probably go unnoticed. My point is the potential for abuse by the government, government employees or even civilians that have access to the equipment is great.

As to my "true thoughts"....it took me a while to realize you were referring to my mentioning government involvement into healthcare. So it's your position I should get over him? It's not him...I could care less about Obama personally. It's the stupid law that gives the government all kinds of new powers over myself and the entire country that I have a problem with. Get over him? Get over losing more and more freedom? I don't think so. Also for your information, I agree with his use of drones overseas against terrorists. I just don't think the government should have the power to invade citizens' privacy without a warrant. My problem is with the policy...not the man.

I have a real problem with these drones. I think not only are there security concerns but privicy is an issue. The article tells us each state and municipality will post their privicy policies? Then what? Not click accept like you do on line? Technology in general is creating a need to look at privacy issues. CCTV everywhere...websites collecting massive amounts of data......camera phones and now the government sticking it's nose into healthcare. I believe we need to take a long careful look at how privacy will be effected in the future.
