Drones In Iraq and Afganisthan are cool.
I am concerned about their increased use within the United States. It won't be
long before someone suggests they can share the airspace with us, placing all
of us at risk.

Update: Drone control is also now done at March AFB, CA
Read this before watching video.
For non-pilots, these controllers are in Nevada and are each
flying a drone thousands
of miles away in the combat zone in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Left hand is on the throttle controlling the drone's engine.
Note all the buttons which perform various tasks without removing the hand from
the throttle. The right hand is flying the plane.
Welcome to the new world order. This is modern warfare.
