While the politicians are fiddly fucking around, at least somebody is doing something about unemployment, overcrowding driving up rents, and trimming the welfare rolls.

Buzzfeed has an interesting article about domestic surveillance flights.

It hadn't occurred to me, but sites like flightradar24 that track flights can also be used to track the FBI, DHS, and law enforcement. If you look at flight patterns long enough, you start to see certain planes that fly in circles at a low altitude. And they go up day after day after day and fly the same exact circle over and over. A team of reporters compiled data over months last fall and have posted a map at the buzzfeed link above so you can see what areas in your city are under constant surveillance. It's pretty amazing.

A couple circles are over my house, but centered over spots a mile or so away.
WTF are they looking for in Burke VA? Is a terrorist hanging out in a house there? They have it under very heavy surveillance.

Go to the link and put your own town in. Zoom out, look at the hot spots around the country. Why the finger lakes?

Are they really constant, though? The slider at the bottom left keeps cycling through the three-month period, but they leave the circles up every time one appears. It looks more like they surveyed each area heavily for a time, then mostly move on to other areas.

Easy for me to say though, since apparently they don't give a damn about Austin. :)

Well, there is a frustrating lack of explanation on what the lines on the map mean. They talk about animated dots, but not much more.

I think we can assume that the more lines, the more flights. And Burke, VA, for example, has had hundreds of flights during that couple month window. And the flights are red, so they are FBI flights.

Clodfobble 04-07-2016 11:41 AM

Yeah, my initial reaction when I saw the post was that people taking flight school training fly in a whole lot of circles, but at the link they claim to know that the flights are definitely FBI or definitely Homeland Security.

Maybe it's a secretly secure location--like not someone they suspect, but the place where they hide visiting diplomats from politically-questionable countries, or keep a bunker ready for the President at all times.
