I have no doubt you're correct. Tracking down the owner of a "disposable" drone might be an interesting challenge; proving whose fault it was would be even more interesting . :unsure:

They showed some drones on BBC 'click' programme on Sunday (should be available on YouTube}, the cheapest was £90, and the most expensive was £900, but you got what you paid for. These were being demonstrated in Oslo.

Or how about attaching a small amount of firepower? and calling it a Terminator? :ohmy:

Never one to be left behind - and thanks to Google Drones

Google Earth and Google Street View will be updated, combined and re-named

The new app will be called:

Google What On Earth Are They F-----g Up To View

It'll put the paparazzi out of business

Because this is what Diane Feinstein unexpectedly encountered (mind you, it's particularly ironic given her earlier stance on NSA surveillance...but that's another subject for another thread...):

Dianne Feinstein wants drones regulated - Andrea Drusch - POLITICO.com
