Why Is FBI Flying Surveillance Aircraft Over US Cities?



IBTimes: FBI Spying on Americans Using Aircraft Fitted With Cellphone Surveillance Equipment: Report

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been spying on Americans across the country, using a fleet of about 115 aircraft fitted with high-tech surveillance equipment registered under 13 fictitious companies.

In an investigative report, The Associated Press found that the FBI had carrying out surveillance using low-flying planes such as Cessna 182T Skylane aircraft in at least 30 cities that included Houston, Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis and Southern California.

Describing the fleet as a 'small air force', the report revealed that the FBI was deploying such low-flying planes to record, video tape and even carry out cellphone surveillance.
