Maybe the FAA should also ban civilians flying commercial and/or noncommercial drones, model aircraft, balloons, or any other remote control or uncontrolled vehicle carrying any type of CBNRE or other potentially deceptive, injurious, and/or deadly payload - including small arms, flares, rockets, rocket launchers, IFF transponders, false navigation lights, sources of ignition, propane tanks, lasers, microwave radar corner reflectors, etc. Maybe the FAA should require drones to be registered and equipped with unmodified firmware to enforce common flight restrictions - e.g. no flights over 300' AGL, in or near temporary or permanent restricted areas, White House, National Wildlife Parks, etc. Maybe the FAA should require a pilot's license to fly a drone. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

Maybe but don't count on it. I want to be able to fly my drone anywhere I please. It's a violation of my freedoms to prevent me from doing so.

Capt Tom Brown - I understand and sympathize - but even in Austin which is a drone friendly little town - there are dozens of laws that restrict drone flights for safety of the public and to prevent injury, damage, annoyance, or invasion of privacy. Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

Capt Tom Brown - The state has even more laws re drone flights and images. Sandy :)
p.s. I am not at all certain that unarmed drones are covered by the second amendment.

The fact that this wasn't the expected protocol from the inception of the drone makes me concerned about the idea of forward thinking military technology standards of practice LTC Ivan Raiklin, Esq.
