Summary:
This article relates an anonymous conversation CNN had with someone shoe knows the drone crasher well. Through this conversation we learn that the crasher of the drone is sorry, he's a secret service agent, he's very very sorry, alcohol was not a factor, he's very very very sorry, it was probably a software issue, and that the drone crasher is very very very very sorry.

Analysis:
This issue raises questions about these drones. They are so fun an ungoverned practice. The problem is that no one has a good solution. Is it against our constitutional right's for them to be taken away? Would they be seen as so awful that they're banned all together like alcohol was during the temperance movement? I'm curious to see if and how the U.S. responds to this with legislation in the coming months or years, because it also raises a question of security.
I also would like to see the governments response to this in the next year or so.
ReplyDeleteI think the places you fly the drone is the biggest issue. Because there are areas that are considered private property, those lands should be off limit. Unless of course, it's your own private property.
ReplyDeleteIt's still peculiar that the drone landed where it did. I also agree that certain areas should be off limits to such devices.
