Watchdog sues FAA, wants to know who is using drones in U.S.
The Electronic Freedom Frontier is demanding that federal authorities release information about who is authorized to fly drones in domestic airspace. An attorney for the group pointed to a case in Grand Forks in which the local sheriff used a predator drone to assist in the arrest of local citizens. Civil liberties advocates worry the drones will allow the government to spy on American citizens without their knowledge.
