Scary article. I am not surprised, but it does give creedance to all the people who are concerned w big brother watching them.
We are no longer a free people. I can see how it is for good use now and how easily that can be changed.

Kind of like on the internet forums - People continually flip someone off who they know is obligated to not break the rules in response. Yeah, usually that type of stupidity eventually yields the rewards that are earned.
And then there are those trying so hard to be offended that they're imagining things that haven't even been said in a thread.

So by this logic, it could easily mistake a farmer with a rake for an armed citizen.
What could possibly go wrong?

Blame the last ten years of War-On-Terror for this development.
As you all know, some of the best and most useful technologically advances (such as the microwave oven and the internet) came from military R&D.

Wonderful. Now sell that technology to the company I worked for, applying new technology for detecting submarines at a distance.
We could, but it involved Superconducting MultiAxis Magnetic Gradiometer sensors. The gun detector is BS. It is based on a WAG.

Also includes tracking cell phones.
I wonder if they can also detect how much of the "new" cash a person has in their wallet?

In my case not an issue. My wallet is thin today, I found a box of 45 ammo.

The article mentions the capability of detecting ONLY long guns. So the ultra-expensive all-porcelain Glock 7 can still be carried in an observed environment ... for now.

( In the voice of Elmer Fudd cir. mid-60's...) " a v-e-e-e-ewey swippewee swope..."
concerning drones watching law abiding Americans...opens up a slew of potential abuses.
I am out and foil-wrapped...

Tobacco has killed more Americans than maryjanes... and let's not forget the health costs related to lung cancers.

As a professional photographer, I can tell you, light is everything.

Wonder what kind of damage a cheap quad rotor rc toy would do to those predators if it was flown kamakazi style into it?

It doesn't really "detect" anything.
It has a low light camera and a IR camera, that can see body heat.
It looks for the angle your arms usually rest at when carrying a gun.
Thats how it "detects"
Also, none of the "customization" they talk about is custom. Its standard features on the Reaper.
Also, the photo they list, is not a MQ-1 Predator, but an MQ-9 Reaper.

Sort of sounds like DHS wanted high definition and zooming capable FLIR, based on RussP's specs quote.
No reason for drones to be flying over this country in the first place. I wonder how many of these sorts of articles are pure disinfo or intentionally sensationalist and just meant to put fear into the populace about drone capabilities.

Good thing none of that stuff could ever be installed in a manned police helicopter

Looks like it's time to put together my very own drone defense missile shield......
Think I'll start with a battery of these babies...
http://www.estesrockets.com/rockets/...440-magiciantm
Sure don't want those drones catching me peeing in the back yard or sumthin' 
I know these things work....think I still have a few from 40 years ago that are still in low earth orbit....or at least ones I never found again after launching them..

Could a .308 do the job?
What about 7.65?

Another news report says someone is now attempting to ban shotguns. Coincidence?
