US Homeland Security sued for drone details
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iF6vt5toe8Hrpaxmmxi4dpVsBgmQ?docId=CNG.a29fa95ca7f02a5d48e07c8d86b5a7f1.181(AFP) – 43 minutes ago
SAN FRANCISCO — The Electronic Frontier Foundation said Wednesday it has sued the US Department of Homeland Security to obtain details about Predator drones on loan to domestic police departments.
EFF Internet freedom and privacy champions contended that they filed suit in federal court in San Francisco because the DHS failed to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request for the information.
A DHS division uses unmanned drones in the United States to patrol borders but reports indicate that missions are being flown on behalf of local and federal law enforcement agencies, according to the EFF.
