Oregon Army National Guard and others plan to launch drones from public airport
The Oregon Army National Guard has stated that they are planning to launch unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), better known as drones, out of the public Eastern Oregon Regional Airport, along with other Oregon agencies, although the Guard already flies drones domestically.
This is hardly surprising, especially given that we already know that the U.S. military is operating drones domestically and sharing intelligence with law enforcement (also see below video), Predator drones are going to soon be operating over North Dakota, and drones have already been openly used to assist law enforcement.
Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has embraced small surveillance drones and is going to begin testing in Oklahoma, the Pentagon already identified 110 potential drone bases in the U.S. and a new drone training facility is being built in Florida. http://www.activistpost.com/2012/12/oregon-army-national-guard-and-others.html
