When are you people going to get it?
All this talk about the real impact that drones have on people, property, etc, and how the gov't doesn't need to regulate them to this degree. You can talk till you're blue in the fact and come up with explanations and arguments to the gov't as to what they should and shouldn't do, how they can tweak these regs, etc. That's not the point at all.
Go and read my post a couple pages back. All the gov't sees when it comes to hobby drones is a new way to enable different sorts of terrorist acts. That's it. End of story.
Why do you think so many are being flown near airports? The deliberate act of trying to get your drone to hit a cockpit window or get sucked into an engine is a very enticing thing to do for a larger segment of our population that anyone cares to admit. I suspect that's also why lasers are being pointed at planes. And that's only for starters.
Planning some sort of act, getting good footage, being able to see things you don't normally see (or aren't allowed to see) from the road. And of course being able to drop things. This is why the gov't doesn't want hobby drones to become "a thing".
Being a welcoming, "inclusive" society has a price. And killing hobby drones is another payment.
