DroneShield: The Drone Detector For The Masses

Introducing DroneShield: Drone Detection Just Got Personal

Worried about drones flying over your property or an unmanned bot looking in your window? Check out this simple, inexpensive device that alerts you via text and email to the presence of any nearby drones. The video was made for an Indiegogo Crowd Source Project and was an immediate hit. The funding goal has been surpassed and the product should be available later this year.

Tiny Affordable Device Detects Nearby Drones

The device will cost $69 and will be the size of a USB thumb drive. It will use Raspberry Pi, a tiny $25 computer. The engineer behind the project says he imagines customers will attach the Drone Shield to their fences or roofs to protect their home from surveillance.

How It Works

Engineer and company's founder, John Franklin, who has been working in aerospace engineering for seven years, says the DroneShield detects the presence of drones with a commercially available microphone and specialized software.  Each DroneShield contains a database of common drone acoustic signatures so false alarms are reduced (lawn mowers, leaf blowers etc.) and in most cases the type of drone is included in the alert.

NEW STORY

Obama Is Killing With Drones Instead Of Using Guantanamo

US News & World Report

A former adviser to President George W. Bush suggested Wednesday that instead of locking up suspected terrorists, Obama has just been killing them with drones.

"This administration has decided they don't want to do detention, because the Bush administration got into trouble with detention, so now they're just killing people."

John Bellinger was legal adviser to the State Department State from 2005-09 and legal adviser to the White House's National Security Counsel from 2001 to 2005. Over the past decade, the United States has engaged in at least 300 drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq and Mali, taking out several high level al-Qaida operatives, but also killing approximately 2,000 civilians, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.

He got the idea for the device after getting into a bit of hot water with his neighbor, which Franklin says alerted him to the reality of people's concerns about drones. "I bought a [drone] from Amazon and was going to use it to look at my roof. The wind took it and I crashed it into my neighbor's yard. It freaked him out once he noticed it had a camera on it," Franklin says. "It sort of dawned on me that it's so easy to invade someone's privacy with a couple hundred dollar drone."

Obviously, this is the next surge upon the people's rights, the least of which is the right of privacy & due process.
Of course, "our" masters will continue and also escalate rights violations no different than the Nazis before. "Our" masters will continue on this tactic until all the world is enslaved unless stopped.
It will take nothing short of the people organizing more effectively than the recent "Occupy Wall Street" movement. Additionally, this organizing people's rights organization must maintain focus and concentration on the central and core problem without the diluting distractions of peripheral issues. Only 1 problem must be attacked and fixed at a time. People cannot concentrate on many issues at one time nor apply adequate force sufficient to bend the will of the usurpers.
Make no mistake these devices will be abused by the ruling elite as they have abused their power all throughout history.
The question is will the people unite sufficiently to protect their inherent and inalienable rights from the ruling elite?
