The New America Foundation hosts a discussion on how unmanned aerial drones are being used in the U.S. for non-military purposes. Konstantin Kakaes gave an historical analysis comparing drones to previous new technologies such as nuclear power and GPS. Then a panel discussion looked at how law enforcement and journalism could use aerial drones.
