This should be illegal everywhere.
I'm really afraid of the not too distant future when drones are cheap and autonomous enough so that they are able to be controlled by a small crazy group and used to harm lots of people. I don't think we as a society are prepared for it.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoOf course its illegal everywhere to kill people with chainsaws.

- bluejekyll 11y agoDepends on if they are looking at you threateningly...
- theklub 11y agoI seriously want to start a drone defense company.
- DanBC 11y agoDefending people from drones? Or using drones to defend people? (Or both?)
- Roboprog 11y agoDoD won't appreciate the competition :-)
- bluejekyll 11y agoDoD outsources most a lot of that work. Though, they'd probably prefer a machine gun.

- freyr 11y agoBest options are probably Thors, missle turrets, photon cannons or void rays. Eventually war will be teenagers sitting at computers moving swarms of autonomous machines on a virtual map, and South Korea will take over the world.

- SlipperySlope 11y agoSorry, but you could have made your point in a more hackerish way by saying that the Islamic State is looking into using off the shelf drones to widely distribute Cesium 137 dust harvested from Medical X ray equipment. A devout martyr would have no issue with preparing the Cesium and assembling the device. Such a weapon would cause great economic damage if used in an urban area, as the city would have to be evacuated until a thorough and expensive clean up was completed by thousands of workers in bunny hazmat suits.
