    Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's a .....

    It's a drone!

    "Drones will be commonplace in the skies above the UK within a decade, according to a European commission document suggesting that hundreds of firms will develop new uses for them.

    But the claims have prompted concerns from civil liberties groups, who fear that the unmanned aircraft will result in more forms of surveillance. Some 95% of drones in operation are used by the military, but the document notes they now also have "great potential for civil applications" "

    A European commission report predicts hundreds of civil uses for unmanned aircraft in the next decade


    Should we be concerned about another step towards Big Brother? Or should we be excited by another weapon in the Government's fight against crime or the private sector's creative use of technology?

    Complete this well-known phrase and saying ... "if you've done nothing wrong ..... "

    I'm disappointed. I thought this was going to be another 'Pigs Might Fly' thread from Ams

    Oh wait a minute...it is !

    Personally, I say, bring it on. I'm ready for 'em.

      Don't we have aerial surveillance already? I've seen maps of private back gardens where every shed, garage, or big tree seems to be shown.

        I was hoping it was going to be a celebration of the music of La Monte Young

          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
