A leaked US Air Force document stipulates a drone that happens to
capture surveillance images of Americans may store them for a period of
90 days. The paper appears to justify spying on citizens, as long as it
is “incidental.”
The document accepts that the Air Force may not record information non-consensually; however it does state “collected imagery may incidentally include US persons or private property without consent.”
The report, dated April 23 was discovered by Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists and has been put online.
Data

the Pentagon while it is analyzed to see if the subjects are legitimate
targets for state surveillance. The Pentagon may also disseminate this
data among other government organizations if it sees fit.- [Full Article]
