the possibility of detection at long range is zero.

The drone flying 20 feet outside your window... detection is much more likely.

Line of sight... yeah... but if you live in the 10th floor of a condo... line of sight includes a *lot* of places.

Ease of use? Seriously... I flown quad copters... not hard, but not that easy... a tripod and scope... any child can do it.
