On last Thursday, the Federal Aviation Administration gave Amazon the green light to begin testing drones
While you aren’t likely to be getting your Amazon order delivered by drone anytime soon, as the approval is limited to research and testing, the fact remains that this technology is already part of our lives. Drones are already helping the federal government observe and track us in new and often troubling ways, without our knowledge or consent. |

Most state's/municipalities prohibit you from taking aggressive action against a drone, (i.e. shooting it down). But why ? I've long complained about balloonists surreptitiously/silently sweeping over backyards and private spaces. How are camera-carrying drones any different from a creeping "peeping tom" ?
Me, I'd shoot first and deal with the consequences. But there's also more surreptitious means to disable drones without the echo/evidence of gunfire. And, ultimately, disabled is......disabled. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
