Spy drones to police US civilians

Oh great. This from the Drudge Report no less, military spy drones to fly over US cities for domestic law enforcement.
The device, a hovering robot carrying video cameras and other sensors, is being created and tested at HONEYWELL's Albuquerque, NM plant.

...The battery powered craft can stay in the air for 50-60 minutes at a time, and moves around at up to 55 kilometers an hour. The Micro Air Vehicle has flown more than 200 successful flights, including flying in a representative urban environment.

...Troops in Iraq could get the craft in a year or two. The spy drone would be deployed for domestic use shortly thereafter.
Coming soon to your neighborhood. How much more Orwellian can it get?
