How does this amazing "unless you work for the government" clause work? Seriously, what is the legal basis of such exceptions?

EDIT: I'm not criticizing the parent comment. This is a legitimate question! (As usual!)

"Government for the people by the people" implies the democratization of power; such as drones. Maybe its a bad idea.

I threw in the exception lest anyone point out that the US military regularly uses drones to harm people.

I'm not criticizing you. It is a legitimate question. There have always seemed to be exceptions for the government. Does this stem from "war powers?" What is the basis?

I suppose so. Most people agree that it's legal for the government to perform military actions. Which military actions are legal is controversial, of course.
