I can't wait to see the FBI point the finger at the NSA and say something to the fact of "The FBI is trying to protect you, we aren't the NSA violating your right."

That would be golden

When I was with a smallish Credit Union (Langley Federal Credit Union) they would just have me write the note out, scan it and email it to them. Then I would call them about an hour later and it was authorized. They did charge a flat $12 fee.

Very nice way to make some side cash by using amazon affiliate network. Just make sure you are following their rules to a T so you do not get the hammer and actually get paid.

I like the clean look and the blue load bar. I also like the results.

Yeah I live in Hampton Roads and our only choices that I know of are FIOS and Cox. I loath both.

That drone is very different compared to a MQ-9 Reaper or a MQ-1 Predator. The RQ-170 is meant the be stealth and pretty much take pictures and Full Motion Video (FMV) while the Reaper and Predator carry not only sensors but also weapon payloads. The RQ-170 pretty much flies on a track that is uploaded and is not actually controlled by a person after it is uploaded, unlike the MQ-1/9 there is an actual pilot flying via a datalink.

While they don't go into detail on which type of data link which is responsible for controlling the aircraft I am going out on a limb saying that it's controlled via BLOS (Beyond Line of Site) instead of typical LOS, they did not state how far it flew away from that coast so I am just guessing here. I have worked on a lot of predators, reapers, and also inside their GCS'. No one has came close to "Hacking the data link" there has been attempts to jam the signal but no loss of aircraft due to it.

Source: I worked with the Reapers and Predators (deployed and at home) in the Air Force and as s contractor working for L-3 Communications as a Satellite Engineer (Responsible for the datalink).

Normally public defenders are for those who want representation but cannot afford a top dollar lawyer. The state pays public defenders and the defendant pay the court a fee based on their income.

It is your right to have an attorney/representation.
