thewayneCustoms & Border Protection fly unmanned drones along the border regularly. A report released to the FAA "shows a total of 5,688 flight hours from Fiscal Year 2006 to July 13, 2010. The CBP accident rate is 52.7 accidents per 100,000 flight hours. This accident rate is more than seven times the general aviation accident rate (7.11 accidents/100,000 flight hours) and 353 times the commercial aviation accident rate (0.149 accidents/100,000 flight hours)."
YIKES! Keep those buggers away from the commercial corridors, please!
