U.S. college students hijack drone
Kris Sims ,Parliamentary Bureau First posted: Friday, June 29, 2012 07:27 PM EDT | Updated: Friday, June 29, 2012 07:35 PM EDTOTTAWA -- College students in Texas stunned officials when they hijacked a domestic drone with under $1,000 of gear that could be bought at Radio Shack. With Department of Homeland Security officials watching, the small group of techies from the University of Texas at Austin's Radionavigation Laboratory showed the security experts how to mimic a dummy GPS controller, aim it at the drone and start controlling it. It worked within minutes, and the students had control of the unmanned aircraft.
For a nation that has an exponentially increasing number of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles cruising its skies, the demonstration was sobering.
For privacy watchdogs, the fact that a domestic drone could so easily become a remote controlled missile is only one of myriad concerns over the use of the flying robots.
"This is a concern because they can be taken over, hacked into, what could happen if the controls were ceded?" said Micheal Vonn, policy director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.
She warns that the technology is a very powerful tool for the U.S. to watch us.
"We know that surveillance is always introduced in the narrowest possible, most benign form." In Canada, the RCMP in B.C. are using the hovering video cameras to take pictures of car crashes, vowing they won't be used for surveillance, but privacy groups are urging Canadians to be vigilant about their terms of use because privacy laws can change.
Domestic drones are increasingly common in the U.S., and recently some countries and police departments that use them are considering adding tasers and tear gas to the unmanned, constantly watching aircraft.
Earlier this year in North Dakota, police used a predator drone to help storm Rodney Brossart's 3,000-acre farm and arrest him. Brossart allegedly refused to return six cows that had wandered on to his property and is accused of chasing police off of his property with a rifle. He is the first American citizen to be arrested with the help of a drone.

During the interview, Farah also revealed to Jones that his private property was scouted by a drone that sounded “like a lawnmower buzzing over my head.”
“I’m taking my dog for a walk and guess what I see right over the tree line right above my head is a drone,” he said. “I don’t live in the city, I don’t live in a populated area, I live in one of the most rural places you could possibly live in Northern Virginia and there could only be one thing that this drone was spying on and that would be me, that would be my property because there’s just nothing else around except woods and deer.”
Farah joked that the drone might have been spying on him because he qualifies as a “terrorist” in a new Department of Homeland Security report that defines “extreme right-wing” terrorists as Americans who are “reverent of individual liberty.”
“We’ve got our work cut out for us. More and more, I realize that the liberty lovers out there really have to stick together,” he urged. “Fundamentally, we’ve got to stick together, or we’re going to hang together, as our founders said.”
