Russia Today should worry about Russia, where police just stops you to try to get a bribe out of you.
I wish you could bribe the police in the US. It would be cheaper.

...the government has managed to sell the idea of "collateral damage" when it's a bunch of funny talking brown fellas.
That applies to everyone. Our Collectivist form of government rests upon the axiom "Greater Public Good", that slaughtering 10,000 Americans to save 10,001 is totally worth it.

Just wait until one of these falls out of the sky onto a bus full of orphans.
Seriously, the government has managed to sell the idea of "collateral damage" when it's a bunch of funny talking brown fellas. Who's going to notice a couple of malfunctioning drones when you're living in a bomb crater? But just wait until it's a pretty white girl who's being spoon fed cause a drone that lost its signal hit her in the head.

Where do you think all those drones from Iraq went? Right back home. They are doing this, and 30,000 sounds like a conservative estimate considering the falling cost of hardware as well as new smaller drone designs.

I do think the whole surveillance thing is stupid, but I honestly think it would be really fucking cool to see crazy drones flying around in the sky

Just saw that in the link in the OP.
It's happening but they will never reach 30,000 domestic drones, or anything close to that.

Probably not 30000 drones flying at once but I could imagine us having a large fleet cycling in and out, with many concentrated along border states watching the border. Aren't there already drones flying over here, including other developing countries?

It'd be nice if they outfitted the drones with laser sensors, and created a super-detailed topography of the entire united states.

This won't ever happen, don't let it instill fear into you.
It is happening. Just don't be afraid of them. That's the key.

"Public Safety" is police state code for spying on citizens and other fun things that police states do.

The Federal Aviation Administration just needs to put the finishing touches on rules and regulations for widespread domestic drone use, and the agency expects as many as 30,000 UAVs will be in America’s airspace by the decade’s end. As Russia Today notes, given that the department has already addressed the issue of acquiring drones to give the DHS a better eye of domestic doings, though, those law enforcement operations in question could very well transcend away from legitimate uses and quickly cause civil liberty concerns from coast-to-coast. All drones will be equipped with Electro-Optical/Infra-Red sensors, as well as the technology to sniff out certain chemicals from thousands of feet above our heads. Have no fear though, since the "Robotic Aircraft for Public Safety" program is for your own protection, we are sure Janet Napolitano would suggest.
