Predator Drones Might Be Overhead Soon

By Justin Langlois on June 24th, 2009, 3:02 pm 3 Comments

According to an article in the Windsor Star, the Department of Homeland Security is starting to employ Predator Drones as security measures over parts of Lake Ontario near New York.

Eventually, these will be flying over Windsor / Detroit, but will be controlled from Arizona.

Sounds like another starting point for an art project.

   Oh yay! I can hardly wait!
   “Predator Drones” doesn’t sound frightening in the least, does it? We should organize a party to celebrate when the first drone skims our area. Cheers!

     Not quite as draconian, but maybe still worth a moment of paranoia…
