Thread Name: BS: Drones Over America
Subject: RE: BS: Drones Over America
The headline of one of the articles linked to in the opening post:

"Texas Sheriff's Department now equipped with armed robotic drone"

The only mention the article makes of the "armed" claim:

"In the future, the drone may carry weapons (it's designed to do so), but Gage says he sees no immediate need to equip it with any."

So which one is it? Are they "now equipped" or is it something that may happen "in the future"?
