Spy drones being used on US soil

The United States uses drones for surveillance in some limited law enforcement situations, FBI Director Robert Mueller said, sparking additional debate about President Barack Obama’s use of domestic surveillance.

The acknowledgement came in response to questions from US senators who said they wanted to know more about the federal government’s increasing use of unmanned aircraft.

“Does the FBI use drones for surveillance on US soil?” Republican senator Charles Grassley asked during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “Yes,” Mueller said, adding use was in “a very, very minimal way and very seldom.”
