Apparently, nothing interesting
happened yesterday. (Or perhaps journalists are partying too hard
for President's day)
I wonder if permission was ever denied?
(...and what of the other branches of the military?)

Secrecy
News - Army's use of unmanned aerial systems within the United States
Secrecy News, February 14, 2012: "Legal
restrictions on the use of unmanned aircraft systems in domestic
operations are numerous," the manual
states. The question arises particularly in the context of Defense
Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA), refering to military assistance
to government agencies in disaster response and other domestic
emergencies. "Use of DOD intelligence capabilities for DSCA
missions--such as incident awareness and assessment, damage
assessment, and search and rescue--requires prior Secretary of
Defense approval, together with approval of both the mission and use
of the exact DOD intelligence community capabilities. Certain
missions require not only approval of the Secretary of Defense, but
also coordination, certification, and possibly, prior approval by the
Attorney General of the United States...[...from 2003 to 2010, small,
unmanned aircraft systems flew approximately 250,000 hours]"
...and the Risk of analyzing Risk is
more Risky Risk?

- Risks of Friendships on Social Networks
Risks
of Friendships on Social Networks - Cuneyt Gurcan Akcora, Barbara
Carminati, Elena Ferrari. DISTA, Universit`a degli Studi
dell’Insubria, Via Mazzini 5, Varese, Italy
- "In this paper, we explore the risks of friends in social networks caused by their friendship patterns, by using real life social network data and starting from a previously defined risk model. Particularly, we observe that risks of friendships can be mined by analyzing users' attitude towards friends of friends. This allows us to give new insights into friendship and risk dynamics on social networks."
