We don't need your stinking drones

After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the FBI turned increasingly to small aircraft to augment its surveillance capabilities. This is not a state secret. The press has reported that every FBI field office has the capability to launch civilian-style planes equipped with infrared devices and bugging equipment.

(This from a piece in today's Globe about surveillance related to the Boston Marathon bombing. We do not link to the Globe. See "pay wall.")
