Should someone be allowed to have an armed drone?

Basically it means I will have to get a license to fly my planes now. Total bullshit but I guess there will be a lot of traffic up there soon.

Hmmm I guess a lot of the FAA's roadmap to integrate drones into civilian airspace by 2015 deals with the development of "sense and avoid" technology.

Interestingly this will eventually lead to the emergence of truly autonomous drones, which Prof mentioned earlier.

Things are changing fast. Pretty soon the air will be polluted with drones, but I guess there will be a lot of jobs as drone pilots for the video gamers of the last few generations until fully autonomous robot drones are fully developed..

Don't pilots now have to have an actual pilot's license? That will change I assume as they proliferate. Curious to see what the tolerance will be for accidents as well

As I said the FAA's "roadmap to integrate drones into civilian airspace by 2015" will also regulate RC planes for hobbyists but currently you don't need a license.
