Yes but nobody wants to talk about it or acknowledge that it is going on. -you'd think the news would pick up on it a little more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tHk9Q3Fv6g&feature=quicklist You should probably pay close attention to @2:55 on. Nice how they lie isn't it?

They are testing them at this time. The FAA, the federal agency that controls the airspace isn't real hot on the idea of UAV because of concerned they will conflict with normal air traffic. The last I heard only Miami and Houston had been granted permission to test them and under very limited guidelines.
