FBI Agent on Foot: OK

FBI Agent in a Van: OK

FBI Agent in a Plane: Not OK

I'm assuming an FBI agent in a satellite would be really not OK.

Strawman. The issue is not the presence of the pilot in the airplane; it's the presence of high-res cameras, StingRays, etc.

The key issues would be scale of the surveillance and warrants.

no, that would be A-OK. load everybody onto the ISS and send it to orbit around Uranus.

It's like plane surveillance- except it's in the air for decades at a time.
