NPR's OnPoint discussion about Drone use

Chris Anderson was one of the guests also guests from the ACLU.

Here is the link to the: article 

Ok, so the “tacocopter” was a joke.  The drone that would deliver fresh tacos to you from the sky, wherever you stood, whenever you wanted them.  But drones are coming to American life.

The US military has gone wild for drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan.  American police departments are droning up.  But the big buzz now is in private drones.

Drones that can watch and check and grab and monitor.  For farmer’s fields.  Pipeline inspection.  Traffic watch.  Just looking around.  “Our skies will be dark with drones,” they say.

This hour, On Point:  beyond the military, the exploding age of drones.


Not sure where a link to the audio from the program is.. so if anyone finds it please post it in the comments.
