And I'm against all of those intrusions. The drones are particularly bad IMHO because the technology will become widespread enough that evryone can play in the sandbox.
Government that interferes least and is closest to it constituency is the proper choice in most cases. Large centralized power, particularly centered in bureaucracies, is always dangerous to liberty. Hence, even nominally "good causes" ought be secondary to ensuring smaller more palpable government.
