After five years of legislative struggling, 23 stopgap measures and a two-week shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration, Congress finally has passed a bill aimed at prodding the nation’s aviation system into a new high-tech era in which satellites are central to air traffic control and piloted planes share the skies with unmanned drones.
The bill, which passed the Senate 75-20 Monday, speeds the nation’s switch from radar to an air traffic control system based on GPS technology. It also requires the FAA to open U.S. skies to drone flights within four years.
Final approval of the measure was marked by an unusual degree of bipartisan support despite labor opposition to a deal cut between the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-controlled House on rules governing union organizing elections at airlines and railroads. The House had passed the bill last week, and it now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature.

ITS A TRAP!
Okay, so we can now kill US citizens with no trial or hearing AND we can have predator drones flying overhead. SOMETHING IS FUCKED UP HERE.
Ron Paul is looking more and more worth the baggage. America can only be destroyed from within.
Patriot Act, Pipa, sopa, NDAA, TSA, tourism trade destroyed by how airlines treat foreigners, and now predator drones over our heads. It appears the governmental politicians many of which have been their for as long or longer than many dictators are turning against the people. Certainly the leaders are not the type to relinquish power like George Washington willingly did so we could have an election and a republic. We the people has become they the “people”
Anyone who thinks the state security apparatus perfected in your recent occupations won’t be deployed at home once inflation takes hold will be in for a nice shock. Sheeple.
Exactly right, TJWP. If the money game gets away from “those in power”, the general masses will need to be controlled.
As I’ve said before- considering the absurd things people get upset about now, wait until things really get bad. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet… pal.
Most likely the central banks have everything under control. Debasement of currency is something the “little people” will just have to deal with.
However, if the screwdriver slips, it will happen too quickly…

Allowing powerful Malthusian socialists to control one’s destiny, and trusting the media, doesn’t bode well for the future of one’s own DNA. Someone else’s DNA will live the life you never had, because you were so gullible…
Nice.

There’s other laws against killing people. The key point is GPS technology over Radar, which allows for better and more efficient aircraft control, fuel and time savings.
I guess it’s time to start saying comrade, and get patriot outta my vocabulary.
“Leader Obama knows best.”
IRS drones will enforce higher taxes. ‘Share’ your wealth or else fire from heaven will consume you!
WE THE PEOPLE, out number them,that is what they are afraid of. they are so afraid,that WE THE PEOPLE “just” might fix the shit,exactly how it should be fixed. and hang their asses for FUCKING us for so long. talk about a fucking waste of sperm…
Sadly, db, it appears you don’t have, or talk to, many people in the military complex. Yours truly, knows there’s very little you can do the Feds send the drone bombs on your/our/my family why they sleep.
Now, there are trolls on this site who secretly like… love that idea (hint, they vote Democrat, usu. call themselves Independents (wolves in sheep skin).
Fascists never seem to die. They grow new heads, say the same old thing, in a slightly nuanced and “articulated” term or phrase.

Yes all those democrats who started those wars of occupation and passed the Homeland Security act for the “good of the nation” and started the practice of rendition, illegal wiretaping, indefinite detention and suspended rights for detainees. George was a well known democrat.
I’m glad to see you are back in your former moronic form where you post things so detached from reality people must wonder if you had a brain annurism.
Blegh. Sock puppet posts.

I’d respond mid-level management. But will give cred. it’s moment.
