I began marking-up this post after reading just the first ¶ of FAA under pressure to open US skies to drones. "Now the pressure's on ..." is code for "this is a trial balloon from Obamunist central ." Paragraph #6 contains the the next slice of meat.

There
is a tremendous pressure and need to fly unmanned aircraft in
(civilian) airspace," Hank Krakowski, FAA's head of air traffic
operations, told European aviation officials recently. "We are having
constant conversations and discussions, particularly with the
Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, to
figure out how we can do this safely with all these different sizes of
vehicles.

I don't have to spell out the implications for y'all; but there are
plenty of un-thinkers out there who will scratch their collective asses
and say, "sounds good to me."
Obamunists are shrewdly packaging this to appeal to cash strapped state
governments; i.e., a new revenue [tax] source. However, what's
the different here from using the United States military as a domestic law enforcer? It fits neatly into Obama's "civilian national security force" gambit. "Piloting" the drones will give the Obama Youth something constructive to do, too. I hope there's a huge stink over this, beginning now.
A good spot here to reintroduce this thought. If the Second
Amendment was formulated to give us citizenry the means to
defend against excesses by our own government, as it certainly was,
this question needs answering. Oughtn't we have access to the same weapons a rogue government can use to repel us? I'm just saying.
