Unmanned drones in Central New York

[Nordmadr]

I just read in the local newspaper here that they will be bring unmanned drones, 12 of them, to the Hancock Airfield in Syracuse. Clinton, Boehlert, and Gov. Pataki were all at a nice little ceremony about it. The newspaper did not describe WHY we needed unmanned drones in upstat New York ansd only referred to the purpose several times as the "mission". I found this to be a little creepy. These drones apparently have a range of under 500 miles, are primarily used for surveilance but can also be armed. I know we are fairly close to the DANGEROUS Canadian border and all, but other than that, I have a hard time coming up with a good reason for them to be here. Well a good reason that doesn't involve use against Americans and my handy dandy tin foil hat.

Maybe I just need a vacation.
