So we're supposed to just go along .. ho-hum .. and wave to the drone and smile? 99th_Monkey Apr 2012 #31

No, you have to confront the people making them. That is the basis of this. Jobs. Love of high tech. freshwest Apr 2012 #35

On the contrary, you have expressed your views very well. 99th_Monkey Apr 2012 #36

That it might be armed Shankapotomus Apr 2012 #44

In the case cited, we're discussing government drones, which are armed and controlled remotely now. freshwest Apr 2012 #47

Agree with Shankapotomus. Excellent points. randome Apr 2012 #56

While I do not think shooting down flying things is a good idea, generally speaking quakerboy Apr 2012 #17

I don't think using such technology to spy on private citizens is a "good idea" either. 99th_Monkey Apr 2012 #25

So to what height above your house can you legally shoot down flying aircraft? Nye Bevan Apr 2012 #13

I seriously doubt that there is ANY laws about these hideous little machines 99th_Monkey Apr 2012 #26

Good luck with that.. Fumesucker Apr 2012 #14

Thanks 99th_Monkey Apr 2012 #22
