The FAA currently has a policy which allows unmanned aerial vehicles to be used for recreational purposes only. They have prohibited organizations like Texas EquuSearch, a non-profit organization from utilizing these small unmanned surveillance aircraft which are vital to finding and perhaps saving the lives of lost persons. By prohibiting the use of these vehicles, the FAA may in fact be directly responsible for the loss of human life, which is a direct contradiction to its purpose. I urge the president and the administration to investigate the motives of the FAA and instruct them to change whatever polices that are in place and allow non-commercial search and rescue organizations to use these types of small aircraft.
