Re: Kentucky Man Shoots Down Drone Hovering Over His Yard

Some interesting discussion on Bruce Schneier's website, including some talk of a FAA mandated 500 ft. airspace zone.

This technology is just like any other, it's great until it's abused. And it's not if, it's when. For my part, I'd have shot it down also, assuming it was hovering as described by the property owner. The #8 birdshot has little if any chance of harming anyone, particularly if it was shot into the air as claimed.

That said, I'd love to have one of them. It's not even close but I have one of the cheap sub $100 quadcopters and it's a blast to fly. It has no camera and about 150' range so I can't be blamed for spying on anyone...
