The US passed a bill to let people and corporations fly drones.

Not sure if the drones would be cost effective enough for the general public to bother using them.

Re: While you were worried about pop culture:
So?
If you think you aren't being watched already in every aspect of your life I have a wakeup call for you. Drones are not that much of a step when you can read a newspaper over someone's shoulder from a satellite. If Haliburton wants to watch me stroke my crank in the back yard I don't give two s***. Hell, I intermittently flip the bird at the sky just in case there's a spy satellite trained on the mountaintop.
You should be more concerned about the dossiers being compiled about your internet and financial activity, how your very existence is an abstract concept that can be easily and unquestionably altered to your detriment. Hell, if the NSA wanted to eliminate your very existence they could in a few minutes. You would be a modern zombie, a dead man walking. No SSN, no credit history, no records of a birth certificate or ID except hard copies that can be rendered moot in the absence of digital records.
I suggest you watch The Net, Enemy of the State and Eagle Eye for watered down examples.
In the meantime understand that you are being watched at all times in some form or another.
Take a look at your cell phone. Cool ain't it. It tells anybody who wants to know and can purport the credentials everywhere you have been. There is a reason Mad doesn't carry his phone sometimes.
Credit cards have become indispensable. You realize, of course, that every charge you ever made is stored somewhere. You must also know that such records are scrutinized for indicators and can be very valuable tools to detect your activity and postulate intent. Cash threatens that ability and while there are fewer and fewer people who actually carry dead presidents, the government and my fellow Americans continue to erode my ability to buy something without getting a database involved.
Google is awesome. It can find anything. Everything it finds for you is filed away too. Someone somewhere knows you searched for Asian schoolgirls....

Re: While you were worried about pop culture:
Some I'm paying for an 18 wheeler to pull up, deploy drones, and attack me at my front door. Yea...that's where I stopped watching.
Also long as the s*** thing doesn't run out of battery/gas and crash land on my car I'm ok with it.
Video wasn't all useless, at least now I know how to acquire free cows.

That's pretty damn awesome, which means it will probably be "unlawful".hitbychance wrote:I want my own drone to fight the other drones

I assumed amateur hobbyists had been doing this for a while. That's how that river of pigs blood was found near a slaughterhouse in Texas.

I think when it comes to drones the crucial question is KA or SR.
