And if you think this won’t actually happen, you’re kidding yourselves.The FAA can regulate drones and make it a crime to shoot them down all they want, but there will be a whole lot of people who won’t tolerate drones buzzing over their properties (I’m not just talking about Amazon). Regular aircraft occasionally (rarely, thankfully) come back with bullet holes from paranoid pot growers who thought they were being spied on; I’m an aircraft mechanic and have seen the holes. Forest Service helicopter pilots have been threatened by landowners that they’ll be shot down if they fly over their land again.Unmanned drones will mean nothing to them and will be an irresistible target.
