"Grandmothers being groped in airport security may make headlines, but many people take invasive tactics for granted as a tradeoff for safety.
They shouldn't. We are increasingly living in a police state whose scope and technological complexity is redefining the meaning of Big Brother, while systematically violating Americans' right to due process under the law.
Take the report last week in The Los Angeles Times on the widespread use of drones by local law enforcement agencies around the country. The Times article describes how officers in a small North Dakota town used an unmanned device designed for the military to figure out whether a family was armed. They successfully raided the family's property, returning six cows worth $6,000 to their rightful owners. Police had a warrant in this case, but it is unclear whether police must obtain them prior to drone use."
