FBI is using drones in America, director tells Congress

The Federal Bureau of Investigations employs the use of drones for surveillance on U.S. soil, the agency’s director told lawmakers on Wednesday.

At an oversight hearing conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Robert Mueller admitted the agency is making use of unmanned aircraft, but he did not provide many details, other than to say the information obtained by the drones can at times be shared with other agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security.
