Drones to patrol skies over Republican convention

It is not just Hurricane Isaac that will be flying above Tampa during the Republican Convention, it turns out that drones will be present as well:

Security-conscious authorities will be using a wide variety of devices and technology to monitor the skies, streets and waterways around Tampa during next week’s Republican National Convention. Cameras, helicopters and law enforcement officers all will be employed to help look for suspicious activity and possible threats.

Add to that mix one more technology: drones.

This will mark the first time unmanned aerial vehicles will patrol the skies over a national convention, according to an engineer with a Naples company that builds and will operate the drones.

Tell me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like?!
