WYPR: Midday with Dan Rodricks Podcast show

Summary: Unmanned aerial vehicles are moving from military use into civilian hands. In fact, a law passed by Congress this year requires the FAA to open U.S. skies to widespread drone use by 2015. We look at how these robots could be used -- or abused. Our guests: Chris Anderson, CEO of 3D Robotics, founder of DIY Drones, and former editor of Wired; Midday science contributor John Monahan; and Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst with the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, and editor of the ACLU’s Free Future blog.
