NewportBarGuy: Begun the drone war has.

The sad thing is that there won't be any "drone wars". The people will quietly accept this destruction of privacy in exchange for a promise of greater security and less "crime". The few who do oppose it will be labeled as being anti-safety or anti-security, a practice already well established for promoting the safety and security industries and empire-building bureaucrats like the TSA.

Needs to look more sinister, like so:

Given how much taxpayers have been soaked for super-duper-mini UAVs that already don't work, the golf-ball sized super-duper-micro-UAVs are probably just vapour ware being released so some farkwit can get some free PR and eventually a contract for something else that won't work.

• How will it fly?
• How will it be powered?
• How will its connectivity work?
• How will it be manufactured?
• How will it be maintained?

If you can't answer all of these, you don't have a product. You have PR.

I bet there will be a whole host of people getting massively butthurt over this who also have absolutely no problem letting private companies have all of their information.

/If you have done nothing wrong you should still worry because it only takes the creation of a new law to make something you're currently doing illegal

I'm thinking #9 shot. Small enough that you get a large number of projectiles with each shot, so you'll likely hit it, and it's fine enough that it won't hurt anybody significantly down range.

A lovely book.

First they installed the CCTV and red-light cameras... and I said nothing.

Then they ruled the sky with their drones of death.

Begun the drone war has.
