I am not too sure that the surveillance drones are likely to look like that blimp, they are more like tiny unmanned aeroplanes - and will be operated at around 20,000ft - which is out of the range of sight of someone on the ground - but I do agree a large part of surveillance is to instil in people the sense that the state is watching them everywhere and all the time - and like you say this leads to society regulating it's behaviour.
which is obviously why the rate of (reported) crime has fallen so much recently.
