2. Grossman states that “They provoke a new kind of anxiety, quite unlike the nuclear terror of the 1980s or the conspiracy-theory paranoia of the 1990s. They're a swarming, persistent presence, low-level but ubiquitous and above all anonymous. They could be al-Qaeda or your government or your friends and neighbors” (Grossman 7).
3. This comment made by the author shows the potential risks involving drones. This statement made by Grossman informs the reader that no one knows who the drones belong to they can be your neighbors, or from a terrorist group not to mention what the drone might be carrying.

big risk. Drones are machine they work for anyone with any purpose good or bad. The fact is that after an incident like nine eleven America is not ready for machine that are prone to cause harm in the future. In addition, even the functional reliability of drones is a question, why would anyone in their right mind want a machine that has failed a trial and error. The possible concern that may arises is, how safe are drones being controlled by someone who means harm, or furthermore are controlled by terrorists who are able to hack into the system and use the drones to cause attacks.
III. Law Concerns (Privacy).
A. Another issue that needs to be considered involving domestic use of drones are laws. If drones are to enter the society the first legal concern involving drones would be the Fourth Amendment.
1. Privacy rights stated in fourth amendment are a big concern when it comes to drones entering the society. For instance, in the text “Domestic Drones” on page 888, Daniel McGlynn reveals the effects of drones on the fourth amendment and addresses the possible issues and circumstances that should be considered involving domestic drone use.
2. McGlynn states that “However, civil liberties groups worry that the ability of drones to conduct surveillance activities could allow the government, law enforcement officials and private individuals to circumvent Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure — protections traditionally viewed as undergirding privacy rights”( McGlynn 888).
3. This statement made by the author provides the reader with in depth information about the privacy right concerning the fourth amendment. The author points out that drones are one of the exceptions that are able to find their way around the law. McGlynn points out that drones provide the user with the power to perform illegal searches and not face any harsh consequences for his or her actions.
B.
In addition to McGlinn’s concerns Koerner points out the property right issue involving drones.
1. Another problem involving fourth amendment, that the drones also have consider, are the property rights issues. For example, in the article “Drones and the Fourth Amendment: Redefining Expectations of Privacy on page 3, Matthew R. Koerner points out the possible property right concerns revolving the domestic use of drones.
2. Koerner states that “Fourth Amendment jurisprudence has extended this property rights paradigm to the curtilage doctrine. In determining whether an area forms the curtilage, courts have considered a variety of factors, including ‘the proximity of the area ... to the home, whether the area is included within an enclosure surrounding the home’” (Koerner 3).
3. Through this statement the author informs the reader that not only are privacy rights a concern for the government, but the entrance of drones also questions the property rights and to what extent can drones participate in
it.
C. Domestic drones are a big problem for legal issues revolving privacy and the fourth amendment. An amendment that protects the natural rights to one’s privacy. Not only do drones have the power to affect laws but also provides its user with the power to maneuver through the laws. As a result providing its user with the power to defy the property and privacy rights. Drones entering the domestic world will require new rules and regulations. The government also needs to figure out a way to enforce new regulations and limit the role of illegal use of drones.
