This technology could be used for good, like finding a missing person lost in the woods, but government rarely, if ever, limits itself to good causes. Curteousy of Homeland Insecurity.
If they just want it to “look at infrastructure,” why are they giving it to the POLICE?
According to officer Mask’s testimony:
It requires a spotter + pilot. Range is limited to line of sight. This is for “uninhabitated” (sic) critical infrastructure areas that are hard for a person to get to.
As in, there are no people there, including “home-grown terrorists”. It requires two men to claim an unmanned use? If it is hard for a person to get in there, how do you fly a drone into that space AND maintain line of sight? I just don’t see the application yet. Then there are two/three men required for the boat scenario (a pilot, spotter and boat operator) following the drone to keep it in line of sight so you don’t have to send a manned boat?
