VIRGINIA approves a two-year moratorium on drone flights in the state.
Virginia is one of several states to consider regulating drones this year as the Obama administration looks to begin permitting their widespread use domestically in 2015, despite worries from groups on both sides of the political spectrum that they could be used by the government to intrude on citizens’ privacy.

The assembly’s bill would outlaw general government use of drones, except for National Guard training and for emergency purposes, such as searching for missing children or seniors.
Wise. It's not that I don't trust the government, but I don't trust the government. Until strict privacy rules are in place, I prefer to keep the government droneless (in the widest possible sense of the word 'drone'.)
