With a growing fleet of combat drones in its arsenal, the Pentagon is working with the Federal Aviation
Administration to open U.S. airspace to its robotic aircraft.

As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down, the military says the drones that it has spent the last decade
accruing need to return to the United States. When the nation first went to war after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, the military had around 50 drones. Now it owns nearly 7,500.

These flying robots need to be shipped home at some point, and the military then hopes to station them at various
military bases and use them for many purposes. But the FAA doesn't allow drones in national airspace without a
special certificate.



Flying drones have become crucial in hunting suspected terrorists in the Middle East, assassinated without arrest,
without trial, without appeal -- even U.S. citizens.

The FAA has said that remotely piloted aircraft aren't allowed in national airspace on a wide scale because they
don't have an adequate "detect, sense and avoid" technology to prevent midair collisions.

The FAA does allow exceptions. Unarmed Predator drones are used to "patrol" the nation's wide-open "borders" through
special certifications. The FAA said it issued 313 such certificates last year.



But the Pentagon is concerned about flying hundreds of larger drones, including Global Hawks as well as MQ-1
Predators and MQ-9 Reapers, both made by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. in Poway.

And last week Congress approved legislation that requires the FAA to have a plan to integrate drones of all kinds
into national airspace on a wide scale by 2015.

The Army will conduct a demonstration this summer at its Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, testing ground-based radars
and other sense-and-avoid technology, Mary Ottman, deputy product director with the Army, said at the conference.

These first steps are crucial, said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), who co-chairs a bipartisan drone caucus with Rep.
Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-Santa Clarita). Officially known as the Congressional Unmanned Systems Caucus, the panel
was formed in 2009 to inform members of Congress on the far-reaching applications of drone technology.

McKeon also said he was in favor of moving along the process of integrating drones into civil airspace. This came
before he was abruptly interrupted by an anti-drone female protester during a speech.

"These drones are playing God," she said, carrying a banner that read "Stop Killer Drones." She was part of a group
that wants the end of drone strikes.

Within seconds, hotel security personnel surrounded the woman. She was carried out chanting, "Stop killer drones."

McKeon, who stood silent throughout the brief protest, went on with his speech.

"Two words for you: predator drones. You will never see it coming. You think I’m joking? My approval ratings,
which have just gone down. It doesn’t bother me. Beside I happen to know that my approval ratings are still very
high in the country of my birth. There are few things in life that are harder to find and more important to keep
than love -- well, love and a birth certificate. This is a big fucking meal!"

Military Drone Crashes and Burns in Maryland

If the feds, the military industrial complex and police agencies all over the country have their way, drones will be flying and performing various “duties” up in the wild blue yonder.

That is until they crash, as one did the other day in Maryland.

Drones over America is a disaster waiting to happen. In 2015, when the FAA signs off on the plan to employ aircraft now used to summarily execute al-Qaeda wanna-bes and school children, we can expect sooner or later one of these things colliding with an airliner.

Since the United States does not publicly acknowledge its drone program, there is no way to know how many of these expensive predator devices have crashed, although we periodically hear about them going down in Pakistan’s tribal region.

Jew Congressman Peter King says drones carry out genocidal policy of "righteousness and goodness. Drones aren’t evil. People are evil."

“What goes around comes around, and those drones are going to come right back at us,” Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) told CNN, arguing Congress was kept out of the loop in terms of the use and scope of the drone program.
