Spy planes over America?

The U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and intelligence agencies have been pushing the White House to deny a new Russian spy plane the right to fly over American territory. The White House began considering a decision whether to certify the new Russian aircraft under the so-called “Open Skies Treaty.” At issue is the current face off between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine. Obama’s cabinet is feuding over the 2002 ratified agreement to allow Russian surveillance flights in American skies. John Kerry and the State Department, which will make the decision, favor the certification. Source: Daily Beast, 04/18/14.
