Drones at the border: Agents ask Silicon Valley for help securing nation - $1M of cocaine found in truck's fuel tank at border crossing

The government's demand for drones and drone operators continues to soar. In fact, earlier this month the head of Air Education and Training Command said that the U.S. Air Force now has more jobs for MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper drones than any other type of pilot position. Now, a new initiative hopes to speed up the procurement process for smaller drones – saving time, money, and lives. It is part of a new mission for Customs and Border Protection: helping agents in the field see beyond their line of sight, and secure a wider area, without sacrificing safety. "They want to see what's over the next hill," explains Kevin McAleenan, CBP's acting commissioner.
