SIERRA VISTA, AZ - MARCH 07: Air Interdiction Agent Will Brazelton from U.S. Office of Air and Marine (OAM), reads over sequestration furlough documents before starting his shift piloting Predator drone surveillance flights near the Mexican border on March 7, 2013 from Fort Huachuca in Sierra Vista, Arizona. The OAM flies the unmanned - and unarmed - MQ-9 Predator B aircraft an average of 12 hours per day at around 19,000 feet over southern Arizona. The drones, piloted from the ground, search for drug smugglers and immigrants crossing illegally from Mexico into the United States. Due to federal sequestration cuts, Customs and Border Protection is expected to lose $500 million from its budget, and OAM staff at Ft. Huachuca are now taking unpaid furlough days once every two weeks as part of the cuts. John Moore/Getty Images/AFP== FOR NEWSPAPERS, INTERNET, TELCOS & TELEVISION USE ONLY ==
