Re: Why do they want an AWB?
Yeah, I think the two main issues are that they're small & quiet enough to bring up privacy concerns, and when they're armed they might make it a bit too easy for the government (or hackers) to "accidentally" kill someone.The Annoyed Man wrote:I can think of beneficial ways that UAVs can be used. For instance, UAVs would make it possible to provide aerial monitoring of forest/brush fires without exposing flight crews to the dangers of flying through smoke over dangerous terrain. Commercial fishing fleets with ship born processing factories currently use helicopters to locate schools of fish. Might it not be cheaper and easier to deploy a UAV for the same purpose? So it's not UAVs per se that is at issue, anymore than it is for any other tool which can be used for good or evil. When governments uses them to either spy on, or to attack their own citizens, that's the issue.
