Local Fort Smith news briefly stated the USAF will deliver unmanned spy planes to Fort Chaffee for Security Purposes.
The noose is tightening.

Yeah; they call this the Bible Belt, and I fall right into that category. Little Rock already has'm.
Fort Smith also put cameras on the majority of their intersection traffic lights. They know when you enter, where you go, and when you exit.

Just remember to flip the bird when you pass under each and every one of those cameras.
That really tics them off!!!
While you are at it, every once in a while just walk out in your parking lot in the open, look up into the sky and give it the bird also.
You never know when they may be watching.
It's lots of fun thinking that someone may actually see you.

I was checking the weather on underground website, and just zoomed in on where I thought my farm may be, and lo, there it was. My truck was backed up to the trash barrels I was loading, and my tractors were in front of the shop. Hadn't been many days before that pic was taken. I better be careful going out behind the shop from now on.

yep. i've looked at my place on one of those,
and saw where the neighbor is dumping his
trash at the back of his property.

When you have to go out behind the shop, carry a large umbrella. Get a big black one and paint an appropriate message on it.

Only go out when it's real foggy.

We have drones in the area where I live. If there is a forest fire in the mountains the drones get sent in. They can see through the smoke apparently. Nice for search and rescue operations, the drone can stay up aloft for more hours than a helicopter and the sensors would be better also.

I am concerned about the loss of privacy, if you are willing to give away freedom for security you really have neither.

Relax guys. I live near Fort Chaffee. The Air National Guard has a tactical fighter wing in Fort Smith (Fort Chaffee is on the outskirts) for years. We had an F-16 wing there for several years before they converted it to an A-10 wing. They recently announced that the A10 mission would be phased out and converted to unmanned drones. That's all it amounts to.

I'm sure the early usage of drones will be poised as good Samaritanism, but it won't last long.
