My main concern is integration with existing manned aircraft and the dangers associated with that. Just the other day the news broke about a close call in Afghanistan between a passenger jet and a German Luna UAV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_NOar...

The privacy issues have been the same issues brought up about manned aircraft surveillance. IMHO it's just a larger hill to mount a camera on. They could just as easily sit outside and watch you, or in a helicopter, or via remote sensors, or using one of the millions of cameras that watch us everyday. It's a much broader issue than just "should they use drones".
