Here in the States private surveillance helicopters are typically news copters. I see them spying over downtown Boston all of the time from my condo. When there are three of them together, I know the story is pretty big deal. If only one hovers for a minute or two, then I know that the news story is nothing to worry about.

Are you referring to the current use of real helicopters? I'm not aware of such helicopters being used for surveillance in the private sector - in the US or the UK. If they're doing so in the UK then I guess these mini-choppers would be one hell of an improvement, assuming their fuel is cheaper and flight times longer. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
