Most people see drones as a controversial weapon prowling over foreign battlegrounds. But as America's military campaigns wind down, these machines are coming home and set to change civilian lives forever.

"This is a powerful technology. No amount of hand-wringing is going to stop it", says drone expert, Peter Singer. Whether it's a floating TV station streaming live to the web, the prying lens of the paparazzi, the police chasing a criminal or a government agency spying, small domestic drones are experiencing an exponential growth. At the world's largest drone convention in Las Vegas a salesman tells the crowd, "this can be used in law enforcement, disaster relief and industrial applications. It's also very good at dusting floors. Every home owner should have one". And as the technology advances at a frightening speed, anyone with a few hundred dollars can buy one over the counter. These hobby drones can fly for miles and provide sharp video feedback to the pilot. "I wouldn't cheat on your wife!", laughs columnist Charles Krauthammer. But jokes aside, there are real fears over the "political, legal and ethical issues that play out with this", argues Singer. In 3 years time an order from the US congress will see tens of thousands of drones legally occupy an already crowded sky, raising numerous questions about basic safety, terrorism and civil liberty. As companies rush to cash in on this new billion dollar industry, experts warn, "we're not ready for this".

    You say that assuming the entity controlling the surveillance or weaponized UAV or drone have your best interest in mind. Watch this technology being duplicated and being made cheap in China. Now even, a prospective burglar can use a $200 UAV to check for weak security spots on a property. Your person or the phone you carry might accidentally be targeted for surveillance by the police who use scanning technologies that is severely invasive into your privacy...

    Besides, the only reason you wouldn't want something hovering over your house is you know damn well if you did something. Otherwise, you'd just shrug it over or not even hear it.

    the last few points i don't disagree. world trade center and pentagon government attacks really don't make sense like damaging the economy helps pay for a war? there are more effective targets. Ultimately most the country does not give a shit about new yorkers.
