NetworkWorld.com: Bill proposes to protect Americans' privacy from warrantless drone surveillance by Ms. Smith:

Didn't hear anyone yell "Fore," yet wonder if that is a golf ball in the sky? It's not; it's a drone and it's coming. Judge Andrew P. Napolitano warned about the "coming use of drones - some as small as golf balls - to watch us, listen to us and record us. Did you consent to the government having that power? Did you consent to the American military spying on Americans in America? I don't know a single person who has, but I know only a few who are complaining."

Although Secrecy News reported the Senate Armed Services Committee said drones need to operate 'freely and routinely' in America, you can add Senator Rand Paul to that "few" who are raising a ruckus about drones. Senator Paul proposed a bill to prevent warrantless drone surveillance. He said, "The Preserving Freedom from Unwarranted Surveillance Act of 2012 will protect American's personal privacy. Like other tools used to collect information in law enforcement, in order to use drones a warrant needs to be issued. Americans going about their everyday lives should not be treated like criminals or terrorists and have their rights infringed upon by military tactics."

"A drone is a very, very powerful way of snooping on behavior," Sen. Paul told CNN.
