The Department of Homeland Security has announced in a solicitation to drone manufacturers that it will begin testing “Robotic Aircraft For Public Safety” at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, indicating that small spy drones will be used to keep tabs on Americans in the near future.
As Infowars reported back in July, 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.”
This represented an about-face of sorts for the agency, which had previously been reticent about the idea of using surveillance drones to spy on the public.
However, a recent solicitation posted on the FedBizOpps website confirms that the DHS is launching its Robotic Aircraft for Public Safety (RAPS) project and is asking small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS) vendors to take part.
The drones are set to be used for applications such as “law enforcement operations, search and rescue, and fire and hazardous material spill response” and will fly for 30 minutes to two hours at a time, weighing around 25 pounds so they can be launched by hand.

We all know this will NOT turn out well. Americans will NOT tolerate being spied upon by their own government, and despite any denials spewed forth by their lying lips, that IS the ultimate use of any drones over US airspace. The next administration needs to remove their use for ANY reason permanently. Even a single, possibly legitimate use for them only opens the door for the illegitimate uses. Americans simply do not trust their government anymore, and rightly so. It has earned that mistrust. It’s just a matter of time before these spy-planes start dropping out of the sky because We the People do NOT like being spied upon.
Sure they will. With the right spin Americans will swallow anything. This is what happens when you have a lesbo in the DHS and a gay in the White House. makes me wonder if the two girls are his are just rented.
