Drones to help track US border in summer

Posted by Mark Willis on May 19, 2010 at 3:09pm

On a visit to El Paso this weekend, I noticed this article on front page of the El Paso Times concerning US border drone use.

One interesting tid bit, "Perez said the Department of Homeland Security and members of Congress have been frustrated with the FAA because it has been slow in approving the department's request for the drones." Sound familiar?

    Looks like FAA approved a COA with a little prodding by Texas congressman Henry Cuellar foot. See this post
