If the words "aerial surveillance" was replaced with the word "helicopter", then this article could have been posted verbatim 40 years ago, and been just as inconsequential.

- masonic 6y ago40 years ago, stingrays weren't necessary to monitor cellular calls.
- consumer451 6y agoYes, but my point is that 40 years ago the intelligence capabilities of an aerial vehicle were orders of magnitude less useful. A jet ranger carrying a passenger with binoculars is vastly different than that same jet ranger with modern optics and RF packages. The only real commonality between the two is that they are both deployed on aerial platforms.
