A couple weeks ago, a pilot who was taking an aircraft into J.F.K. Airport on Long Island reported that he had seen a drone in the air. While investigations yielded no information and the sighting remains a mystery, the pilot is not the only one in New York to be concerned about domestic drones. On the John Gambling Radio Show, Mayor Michael Bloomberg expressed concerns about surveillance drones, stating that he believes their appearance in the skies above New York are “inevitable.”
Speaking on the drones, Bloomberg stated, “Everybody wants their privacy, but I don’t know how you’re going to maintain it. It’s just we’re going into a different world, uncharted, and, like it or not, what people can do, what governments can do, is different.” Bloomberg also states that face recognition technology employed in cameras on buildings of businesses and government agencies concern him. “We’re going to have more visibility and less privacy.” Right now it is starting to look like public surveillance drones are going to become a major new industry in the United States. Expect to hear a lot more statements like Bloomberg’s in the near future, and more reports like those of the pilot who was flying into the Long Island airport.
