Oy, the paranoia over domestic drones is getting ridiculous.

1. Yup. The idea that the only way drones will be used is to

spy on people is a distortion. I even saw one person speculating that they'd be using drones to "take people out." The reality is that drones are far less expensive to operate and much safer than the helicopters now in use. Less noisy, too. The reality also is that they'll mostly be used for search and rescue, and to find the location of people who have committed violent crimes to help the police capture those criminals than for anything else.

Further, drones are still expensive to purchase and require costly, trained people to operate them, so we're not going to see them all over the place anyhow. Thanks for posting some common sense about this.
