DJI Plans to make their drones broadcast ID

[wataero]

Has anyone else seen this article about DJI proposing to have their drones transmit ID? (See link below). On the face it sounds reasonable. However, with the hysteria about evil drones and the rush to ban drones from more areas, it could easily turn into the red light camera in the air. Just transmit GPS location along with ID and cities could churn out citations because you flew near an area a bureaucrat decided drones are not wanted, perhaps without even being aware of it. And as usual only folks who follow the rules and register their drone will be penalized.

How does everyone feel about this and what should be done about it?
