The Department of Homeland Security is advancing its plan to use surveillance drones for “public safety” applications, announcing last week that it had received a deluge of “excellent” responses from potential vendors and was set to carry out more tests of the technology.
As we first reported in July last year, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano told a House Committee on Homeland Security that the federal agency was “looking at drones that could be utilized to give us situational awareness in a large public safety [matter] or disaster,” despite the fact that the agency had previously indicated it was reticent to use spy drones to keep tabs on the public.
This was followed by a “market research” announcement in September that confirmed the DHS was exploring a “Robotic Aircraft for Public Safety” (RAPS) project, and was asking small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS) vendors to take part.
In an update posted on the FedBizOpps website last week (PDF), the federal agency announced that, “Vendor response to our Request for Information (RFI), Number: DHS 13-01, on small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS) was excellent and included the submission of over 70 white papers.”
The announcement added that a small number of the submissions would now be participating in the “first phase of assessments” for the technology in 2013 and 2014. The DHS refuses to specify which proposals were accepted and for what reasons.

P.S. The Supreme Court of the United States does not state whether the Orly Taitz case was granted or denied, no answer yet, NO TREASON YET by the justices of the Supreme Court. So let’s pray for their WISDOM.
Go to the Orly’s website and look for her Reports.
Orly Taitz’ Website is: http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/
“Fiat justitia ruat caelum” – “Let justice be done though the heavens fall”
Denied. 5 Justices did not receive briefs. They were sent back to Orly
IF we think the Big, Bad, Behemoth, Bloated, Bankrupt Gimme-mint is our friend then think again. Drones to spy on us and just read that they want all cars, trucks etc.. to have a Black Box installed (For Safety reasons) and they want the Law Enforcement people to be able to come to our Homes and search/see our Guns we have at home, all in the name of Safety and keeping the Insane people from Killing more people. Yep, DUH I believe every word they say and they just care about us and want to protect us, the warm and Fuzzy Gimme-mint. Laugh, Laugh.
Why is Homeland Security dealing in LOCAL matters?
Of course, as others say it’s about BIG BROTHER.
Anybody know the best way to take one down? (shooting is NOT a good idea since bullets that go up will come down)
Maybe slingshots, arrows, or some “old time weapon”? Contra-drones?
Noooooo, They Want This Bill To Pass So When People Start Suing Them For Illegally Spying On Them, They Can Use This Bill To Get AWAY With Anything. Say Noooooooo!!!!
I think we should stablished a drone hunting season. I would suggest Jan 1 through Dec 31. No bag limit.
Since Osama bin laden is dead, didn’t Obama claim that America is once again safe from terrorism? Then what is the fast and furious rush to implement drones for our safety if Obama has extinguished the terrorist threats single handedly?

All Heil Mein Fuhrer Barry Soetoro, AKA Barry Soebarkah, AKA Harrison J Bounel, AKA Barack Mounir Ubayd, AKA Barack Hussein Obama, AKA the 12th Imam, AKA The Hidden Imam, AKA Lucifer, AKA Satan, AKA The Evil One….AKA Allah…
Apparently Divine oversight is insufficient!
IF they closed the border we have a large amount of safety immediately! Then start rounding up and deporting ALL illegals who have committed any crime in the US. Then I’ll believe they are concerned about our safety. No, this is just another of their spy and control projects
A Congresswoman n Colorado said she is so tired of seeing children die… speaking in defense of Gun control.. yet they do not tire of seeing pre-born children die via abortion
In both cases, they lie and the truth is NOT in them! It’s their own and Party Agendas… nothing truly for the American people.
What are they going to do? Circle the White House, That’s what the public needs defense from!!!
