Ratcheting Up the Paranoia Index

Well, this is good news for the makers of tinfoil.
FBI director Robert Mueller said Wednesday that the nation's top law enforcement bureau uses drones to conduct surveillance on U.S. soil, though only on a "very, very minimal basis."

Mueller, the FBI director since 2001 who is set to retire this year, acknowledged that his agency uses drones in its investigative and law enforcement practices, and is further working to establish better guidelines for the use of drones.
Of course they're only surveilling the bad guys, right? They would never ever use a drone for watching law-abiding citizens.

Because there aren't any, so they could use that "three felonies a day" argument to justify watching everyone, since we're all criminals.

Tinfoil would be ineffective. Wearing broad-brimmed hats, on the other hand, might be better (and don't look up). So would driving a silver sedan or a white pickup truck.

You may have just come up with an ideal protest. Wouldn't it be funny if wherever the FBI drones went, they saw all the people wearing tinfoil hats?

Black SUV's and gray or silver Japanese sedans... stealth technology like no other.

We're probably close to hats becoming illegal. It will start with bad guys in movies always wearing hats. Then pundits and comedians will associate hats with laughably inept terrorists.

Texas will be a tough sell, but Fox was created with such challenges in mind. They'll soon have Texas politicians stating that ten-gallon hats are communist.

Some banks already ask patrons to not wear hats or sunglasses. A small step to that end.
