With a lot of technology, the issue of security and privacy invariably come into question and so with cheap and easy to use Drones, will there be legislation on how and when a person or country can use these?
What is your take? Do robotics and AE pose real concerns?

Almost everything we own can be potentially dangerous. Guns, knives, cars, electricity, and even heavy furniture if you drop it on somebody from your window. Just because something can be used for evil by a minority of people, doesn't mean that we should deprive the rest of the population from its positive use.

Absolutely, however... Depriving People, and Depriving Organizations are two different things.
There's a reason People have Rights, and Governments have Power.
I have zero issues with reining in government Power on the use of tools such as this.

Drones, just as firearms, are a tool. They will function exactly as the person WEILDING THE TOOL directs them to.

Any powerful tool is dangerous if misused. These will definitely be misused. Also, some dumbass is going to hurt people while trying to shoot one out of the sky, forgetting that bullets have to come down somewhere.
