other than drones being a hot subject in the media right now, how is this in any way different to using a search plane to look for somebody?



Not only that, but the general touchiness about drones is misplaced anyway. The problem with drone strikes isn't the drones per se, it's being aggressive about killing people and the collateral damage that causes. It doesn't really matter whether there's a guy in the airplane or not.


it isn't. Most people seeing the title, myself included, about the drone used (falsely) assumed it was armed.

It's being used to look for a guy in a mountainous area.
