AIR FORCE DRONES CAN SPY ON AMERICANS AS LONG AS IT'S  "BY ACCIDENT"
A newly discovered Air Force intelligence brief states that should fleets of unmanned drones 'accidentally' capture surveillance footage of Americans, the data can be stored and analyzed by the Pentagon for up to 90 days. “Collected imagery may incidentally include US persons or private property without consent,” the instruction states.
