2. I find the pants-wetting terror of this type kind of amusing.

Since apparently all the people who are worried about nefarious use of "drones" have never before heard of a HELICOPTER, which does the same basic things an unmanned aircraft would do.

4. Helicopters are limited by the number of human pilots available and the amount of airspace

to contain them. Plus, they are noisy.

5. It's the totality of the technology, not just the drones..

Infrared and visible light sensor, synthetic aperture radars that can see through walls, autonomous drones that don't require any piloting at all.

We live in a science fiction world with science fictional spy abilities all around us and it's only going to get worse from a privacy situation.

The only real hope for the average individual now is sousveillance.
