Nebraska lawmakers are considering legislation
to ban law enforcement use of drone aircraft. I am torn between my
libertarian and environmentalist impulses. As to the former, damn right I
don’t want these things nosing around overhead, but as to the latter,
I’m a little thrilled at the potential for drones to monitor illegal
lawn sprinkler activity in Lincoln, perhaps even -- oh, God, please! --
armed with some light air-to-surface missiles to pinpoint offending
sprinkler heads, leaving tiny, smoldering craters all over town.
