FAA Drones
FILE - In this June 18, 2009, file photo, the United States Customs and Border Protection's Office of Air and Marine's unmanned aircraft, the Predator B, sits on display at Fort Drum, N.Y. Unmanned aircraft have proven their usefulness and reliability in the war zones of Afghanistan and Iraq. Now they face an even greater challenge, the skies over the United States. The Federal Aviation Administration is under pressure from other government agencies, lawmakers and industry to issue flying rights for a range of unmanned aircraft. Some are as big as a small airliner, others no larger than a backpack. The tiniest are small enough to fly through the window of a house. (AP Photo/Heather Ainsworth)
