Texas Declares War on Drones
I agree completely, but it takes the government paying a private entity to do surveillance. Far fetched, but still plausible

Why is that far fetched? It's how roads and prisons are managed.

Not sure if the latter is a good example, since the prison industry is one of the most corrupt in the country.

examples. The outsourcing of prisons, in particular, should seem to be a far-fetched concept that nevertheless occurs regularly. I don't see the outsourcing of domestic surveillance to be any more far-fetched.

Also, a very great deal of sensitive government IT operations are outsourced to contractors and vendors and the like.
