Paging Dr. Paul

The killing of one of the protesters in the Oregon refuge occupier was captured by FBI video surveillance and has been released to the public to show that the shooting was justified. What's interesting is that the FBI says that the video was taken from an "airplane." What's not clear is if in this instance "airplane" means "drone," which the FBI has admitted to operating on occasion in the US. It's a question that needs to be resolved one way or another. And even if it is a plane, the surprising surveillance capabilities of the FBI air force should be made clear to the public. Indeed, during the riots in Baltimore last year FBI air surveillance was using thermal imaging and electronics that allowed them to see through walls and roofs.
