    U.S. Lawmakers Express Frustration With Drone Remote ID Delay, “This Summer” Says Standards Committee Chair

    I didn't correct you. I was just pointing out these type of regulations have been around for ever and that I am no more afraid of having my drones ID'd than having my automobile ID'd. Sorry if I offended you. I had no intent to do so.
