WTF? Drones Can Detect if Citizen is Armed...
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has customized its Predator drones, originally built for overseas military operations, to carry out at-home surveillance tasks that have civil libertarians worried: identifying civilians carrying guns and tracking their cell phones, government documents show.

The documents provide more details about the surveillance capabilities of the department's unmanned Predator B drones, which are primarily used to patrol the United States' northern and southern borders, but have been pressed into service on behalf of a growing number of law enforcement agencies including the FBI, the Secret Service, the Texas Rangers, and local police.

Homeland Security's specifications for its drones, built by San Diego-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, say they "shall be capable of identifying a standing human being at night as likely armed or not," meaning carrying a shotgun or rifle. They also specify "signals interception" technology that can capture communications in the frequency ranges used by mobile phones, and "direction finding" technology that can identify the locations of mobile devices or two-way radios.

It was referring to rifles. No, it can't really, not the way you're thinking.

I have a feeling that eventually all guns will have to be locked up at gun clubs and ranges. You'll have to sign it out and return it by 8:00pm. And there will be designated areas where you can shoot. They'll have the technology to detect a gun shot anywhere in the country. fire a shot outside of gov approved facilities and the drone operator will dispatch a swat squad to pick you up. I really think thats where all this is headed.

To protect yourself. Nothing beats a drone better than another drone. Also, when fighting back versus a drone it's good to know the basics.

Right now you can buy guns, and the govenment can buy guns. It's on 1 on 1. The government is investing shitloads of money in drones, they already have their drones and they will have access to even more advanced drones in the near future, you think you will be able to buy a fighter drone? Hell no. That's why should learn how to create one yourself.

If drones have that capability, I hope it's better than airport security which detained this ol' grandma for "handcuffs in the luggage." When searched, all they found was a set of bangle bracelets.

This is NOT new information.....

Not only can drones find a citizen with a gun, but they can use that gun as a homing device for targeting.....
