FAA Releases New Drone List – Is Your Town on the Map?


 Jennifer Lynch
Electronic Frontier Foundation
 February 8th, 2013
View EFF’s updated Map of Domestic Drone Authorizations in a larger window. (Clicking this link will serve content from Google.)
 
The Federal Aviation Administration has finally released a new drone authorization list. This list, released in response to EFF’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, includes law enforcement agencies and universities across the country, and—for the first time—an Indian tribal agency. In all, the list includes more than 20 new entities over the FAA’s original list, bringing to 81 the total number of public entities that have applied for FAA drone authorizations through October 2012.
 
Some of these new drone license applicants include:
 â– The State Department
 â– National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
 â– Barona Band of Mission Indians Risk Management Office (near San Diego, California)
 â– Canyon County Sheriff’s Office (Idaho)
 â– Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office (Northwest Oregon)
 â– Grand Forks Sheriff’s Department (North Dakota)
 â– King County Sheriff’s Office (covering Seattle, Washington)
 
And several new entities in Ohio, including:
 â– Medina County Sheriff’s Office
 â– Ohio Department of Transportation
 â– Sinclair Community College
 â– Lorain County Community College

Indiana State University in Terre Haute, IN is on the list. That is ~75 air miles from me.

Are you comforted by that thought?  ::)

I'm even closer. Chicago isn't a target, but everyone knows it is a target.

Utah is looking better and better as time passes.

Not really. However, I live near a military installation and there is an Air National Guard base in Terre Haute. Having military aircraft fly overs in this area ae common.

Remember - these are the PUBLISHED entities. Who really knows how many there are?
