Power lines are one of the first things to go when a conflict hits an area. Look at Somalia, the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, or areas of Afghanistan that actually had power. Copper is worth something, and can improve shaped charges, used for wiring, and other things.

Roaches, Mosquitoes, and Birds: The Coming Micro-Drone RevolutionJohn W. Whitehead, Monday, April 15, 2013 "[Drones are a] game-changing technology, akin to gunpowder, the steam engine, the atomic bomb--opening up possibilities that were fiction a generation earlier but also opening up perils that were unknown a generation ago."--Peter Singer, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution America will never be a "no drone zone." canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/54509

The States can regulate what THEIR law enforcement do. They can regulate what aircraft can take off and land from within their states. HOWEVER!The have no jurisdiction over what flys over, or sails by their land. Thus the law only prevents that Drone from taking off or landing or being used by the State LEO. If the Drone is from two states away and has an in-flight emergency it must be allowed to land if requested. Last year I posted on here the FAA Authorization legislation where the Drone was given comparable status as a passenger plane.

Tiny Device Will Detect Domestic DronesWorried about an unmanned plane looking into your window? This small detector could alert you when robot planes buzz past
By Jason Koebler, May 1, 2013 A Washington, D.C.-based engineer is working on the "Drone Shield," a small, Wi-Fi-connected device that uses a microphone to detect a drone's "acoustic signatures" (sound frequency and spectrum) when it's within range. www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/05/01/tiny-device-will-detect-domestic-drones

Tornado Drones No Longer Just Science FictionSaturday, 01 Jun 2013 02:48 PM At the time it premiered, "Twister" put forth a fantastical science fiction idea: Release probes into a storm in order to figure out which tornadoes could develop into killers. It's no longer fiction. Oklahoma State University researchers are designing and building sleek, Kevlar-reinforced unmanned aircraft -- or drones -- to fly directly into the nation's worst storms and send back real-time data to first responders and forecasters. www.newsmax.com/SciTech/Tornado-Drones-OSU-Oklahoma/2013/06/01/id/507487

FBI director admits domestic use of drones for surveillancePublished time: June 19, 2013 14:55 Edited time: June 19, 2013 17:01 The FBI uses drones for domestic surveillance purposes, the head of the agency told Congress early Wednesday. Robert Mueller, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, confirmed to lawmakers that the FBI owns several unmanned aerial vehicles, but has not adopted any strict policies or guidelines yet to govern the use of the controversial aircraft. "Does the FBI use drones for surveillance on US soil?" Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) asked Mr Mueller during an oversight hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee. "Yes," Mueller responded bluntly, adding that the FBI's operation of drones is "very seldom." rt.com/usa/fbi-director-mueller-drones-947/

Battlespace prep continues to push acceptance with the sheeple... Yeah, drones have their place, after measures are put in place to ensure they are not used to enhance the on-going police state. Drones struggle to shed bad image as global fleet expandsVital applications of versatile craft overshadowed by links to warJun 21, 2013, by Sarah Dilorenzo LE BOURGET, FRANCE – Unmanned aircraft have helped rescue stranded hikers, worked to contain wildfires and gathered data at nuclear disasters. One helped a Russian tanker find its way through Arctic ice to bring oil to a stranded Alaskan community. These remote-controlled planes have many more potential peacetime uses. But unmanned aircraft have an image problem: They are also known as drones. That word conjures up pilotless planes dropping bombs or spying in war zones. But industry officials and regulators say the day is coming when unmanned aircraft will be regularly used for more mundane purposes - and people will be at ease with them appearing in their skies. For people to change their opinion, they "have to see the benefits," said John Langford, chief executive of Aurora Flight Sciences Corp. "They haven't seen any benefits on the civil side, but they've seen kind of the scary part." www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2013/06/21/business/drones-struggle-to-shed-bad-image-as-global-fleet-expands/#.UcQVvNhRp-M

The drones are not important.
Where they take off from, land, get fueled and Armed, and are commanded from are.
Remove those places and the drones will fall out of the sky, or never take off and be worthless.

Spy Drones in Widespread Use Across USA, Targeting Americans, Secret Documents Now RevealAs regular readers of Natural News are well aware, we track the state of freedom in America - food freedom, the freedom to buy and sell our goods, the right to live free of government interference and, most importantly, the right to be left alone.By J.D Heyes, Natural News, July 13, 2013 Nowhere in the world is privacy as under assault as it is in America, the one country with a written governing document - the U.S. Constitution - that specifically prohibits our government from denying us our right to privacy. If we had leaders of integrity this wouldn't be an issue, but the government in Washington is behaving precisely the way our leaders have fashioned it, so serial violations of our rights is the norm these days rather than the exception.

Just posted the same article under Domestic Surveillance, we were both up early this morning.
After numerous calls to DC from people across this country the results appear to be nothing but spin with no ambition to "prohibit our government from denying us our right to privacy". So were do we go from here? For most of us here we know the answer, just stand ready and prepared.
As much as we believe our Representatives are to represent the people, what they are doing is enforcing dictated agendas and policies. They no longer represent the people.
It pains me with each phone call to hear from the other end of the phone, "Ojibwa, you know in Washington things take time"! rather than a disconnect from the people what we are witnessing is the disconnect from the Constitution and B.O.R. We know this and rather than correcting the problem in DC maybe we need to connect with more Americans.
Both Republican and Democratic party's are failing, the next party that emerges has to have policies and a system designed under the Constitution in place and ready to step in.

FAA: Please Don't Shoot Guns at DronesFriday, 19 Jul 2013 04:07 PM People who fire guns at drones are endangering the public and property and could be prosecuted or fined, the Federal Aviation Administration warned Friday. The FAA released a statement in response to questions about an ordinance under consideration in the tiny farming community of Deer Trail, Colo., that would encourage hunters to shoot down drowns. The administration reminded the public that it regulates the nation's airspace, including the airspace over cities and towns. www.newsmax.com/US/US-Shooting-Drones/2013/07/19/id/516067

I have a better idea. If you get an old picture tube TV. You remove the picture tube. Find the flyback transformer. (Usually right rear) Take the red lead that runs from the fly back transformer to the Socket of the picture tube. Cut it and soldier a clip on the end. Then find the Black lead that is inserted into the side of the tube using a wire through a rubber gasket and a sprink clip. Pull it out and make a singl end.
Get a piece of non-condictive matereial. Glue the Red wire on the material. Measure 1/16" and glue the black lead's wire clip.
When you turn on the TV it will arc at random times. Tis time is based on the recharge of the Flyback's capacitor.
This generates a spark which is radiated at every frequency on the band, it should cause every model aircraft, Ham operator, and any Drones in the area to go beserk.
Turn it off and restart it every so often so the cell phones can recycle and begin to work.
This is called a spark gap radio transformer array. If you wire a terminal strip to the wire running to the Flyback transformer input (about 12 VDC) you can run CW on every band on the dial.
Notice! To do this intentionally is totally illegal, and every licensed Ham in america will start tracking you 15 minutes after you start. The FCC also looks down on jamming! ;D

Drones are 21st Century SuperweaponsJuly 20, 2013, By Adam Yoshida There's this strange sense in the zeitgeist that robotic warfare is somehow disreputable. If you read the news, hardly a day goes past without some deprecatory reference to the use of drones by the United States in its ongoing war against al-Qaeda and affiliated groups. The sense that there is something amiss with the deployment of drones in combat permeates popular media. Indeed, thinking off the top of my head, I can't think of a single example in recent popular culture where the deployment of a drone has been positively portrayed. I believe that this is madness -- the sort of reflexive prejudice that revolutionary weapons often face from people who lack the knowledge necessary to have informed opinions about such matters. www.americanthinker.com/2013/07/drones_are_21st_century_superweapons.html

The use of a drone either in combat or in civil works is likened in the eye of the average joe to a sniper sitting up in the clock tower pinging kids in the head.(aka Texas ) In my mind it removes that element of personal responsibility for any misses or pass through kills for the operator. It brings a whle new meaning to "Whoops" If you read the news from the Middle East out of European and Italian, Greek English language editions the number of "Whoops" are greatly enhanced. When you use a 2.75" Rocket to "Assassinate" people driving in a car with their wives, kids, Grand mothers, etc you tend to heighten the "Collateral Damage". When Bond used the special red button on the chase cars he used it in the hills, not downtown Florence. It is just bad taste. Then to label you and I as Terrorist and bring that to our nation takes the cake. If you want me dead send me a Merc and let us do our jobs, but don't rocket my car in traffic with the other 100 to 200 cars.

Increase of Domestic Drone Use Launches Drive for LimitationsFriday, 26 Jul 2013 02:06 AM, By Cathy Burke The FBI says it used unmanned drones for aerial surveillance in the United States 10 times since 2006, a revelation that sparked a demand for more details on privacy safeguards for the domestic missions. www.newsmax.com/US/drone-domestic-use-limits/2013/07/26/id/517162

Lets look at it a few different ways.
If I am driving down the street and observe you holding a lady on the ground with a knife to her neck I do not need a warrant to arrest you. The sight of your actions give me the PC to stop enter your property and effect an arrest.
If I am driving down the street and see through your front window a large plant with 5 fingers I can get a judge anywhere to issue me a warrant for marijuana plants. When it turns out to be a Hibiscus I get railed back at the station and the Judge will kick my ass for sure.
If I am flying my Drone on a predetermined flight plan and the on-board infrared camera spots an abnormally bright area in the right end of your house compared to houses in the rest of the flight I can get most judges to issue me a search warrant for Marijuana plants. True I may find only a tanning bed, but I got in!
Since the 2012 FAA appropriations act that defined a drone as an aircraft all I need to fly them is a flight plan, insurance, and money for FAA maintenance and fuel.
To combat this you have to just understand what a Drone can and can not see. What they can lawfully do, and then conduct your business with that in mind.
When the military ones come over my house I wave and give them the finger. They have a landing strip out at Mott Lake so they go over quiet often.
Remember that back in King George the lessor's reign the SCOTUS decided that while we have the right to being secure in our persons and possessions that we have no expectation of privacy.

States Vie for Test Sites As FAA Prepares U.S. Airspace For 30,000 DronesAugust 13, 2013 - 5:56 PM, By Penny Starr (CNSNews.com) – As many as 30,000 drones could be operating in U.S. skies by 2020, joining hundreds already on patrol. As of Feb. 15, 2013, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has authorized 327 drones to fly in U.S. airspace and the agency is ramping up to meet a congressional mandate to integrate them into the National Air Space (NAS) by September 2015. cnsnews.com/news/article/states-vie-test-sites-faa-prepares-us-airspace-30000-drones
