Starting on February 14, the FAA opened a 60 day window to receive public comments on the privacy concerns associated with the civilian use of UAS in the United States. It is a given that those against flying drones here will be very vocal in their opposition to UAS (see the recent hysteria regarding the LAPD's alleged use of a UAS to track cop killer Chris Dorner), so those in favor of domestic UAS use need to make their voices heard. Go to www.regulations.gov to provide your comments in support. Follow this link http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/uas/media/UASTS_RFC_FR_notice_2-14-2013.pdf to read the solicitation.
Correction - the FAA's request for comments is for "privacy policy requirements to be levied on the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test Site operators", not for a general debate on UAS privacy issues. I apologize for the error. Ted

Gary - you are correct
That's the test site notification, not specifically a call to debate privacy.
