Pentagon Admits It ‘Kinda Sorta’ Deployed Spy Drones Over America\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\n

In what will likely not surprise too many, The Pentagon has admitted it has\u00a0deployed drones to spy over U.S. territory for non-military missions over the past decade<\/strong>. Confirming yet another conspiracy theory is conspiracy fact, FBI director Robert Mueller testified before Congress that the bureau employed spy drones to aid investigations, but in a “very,very minimal way, very seldom.” The report concludes,\u00a0“the appetite to use spy drones in the domestic environment to collect airborne imagery continues to grow.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As USA Today reports,\u00a0<\/a>the report by a Pentagon inspector general, made public under a Freedom of Information Act request, said\u00a0spy drones on non-military missions have occurred\u00a0<\/strong>fewer than 20 times\u00a0between 2006 and 2015\u00a0<\/strong>and always in compliance with existing law.<\/p>\n

The report, which did not provide details on any of the domestic spying missions,\u00a0 said\u00a0the Pentagon takes the issue of military drones used on American soil “very seriously.”<\/strong><\/div>\n

A senior policy analyst for the ACLU, Jay Stanley, said it is good news no legal violations were found, yet the technology is so advanced that it’s possible laws may require revision.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes, new technology changes so rapidly that existing law no longer fit what people think are appropriate,” Stanley said.\u00a0“It’s important to remember that the American people do find this to be a very, very sensitive topic.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The use of unmanned aerial surveillance (UAS) drones over U.S. surfaced in 2013\u00a0<\/strong>when then-FBI director Robert Mueller testified before Congress that the bureau employed spy drones to aid investigations, but in a\u00a0“very,very minimal way, very seldom.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The inspector general analysis was completed March 20, 2015, but not released publicly until last Friday.<\/p>\n
