Security and Surveillance Gadgets

Electronic Frontier Foundation Surveillance drones or unmanned aerial systems raise significant issues for privacy and civil liberties. Drones are capable highly advanced surveillance, and drones already in use by law enforcement can carry various types of equipment including live-feed video cameras, infrared cameras, heat sensors, and radar. They can also carry wifi crackers and fake cell phone towers that can determine your location or intercept your texts and phone calls. Thanks to a provision in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, drones use in the United States is set to expand rapidly over the next few years. The Act includes provisions to make the licensing process easier and quicker for law enforcement, and by 2015, commercial entities will also be able to apply for a drone authorization.  In January 2012, EFF sued the Federal Aviation Administration under the Freedom of Information Act to determine which public and private entities had applie...

We have many other feat...
