Same with cars, but they kill over a million people a year. Somehow that is acceptable though.

  Your example is only valid when considering driving a car down an airport runway. Deaths from motor vehicles != unauthroised drone flights outside airports

  The issue is accountability. Cars are "2D" and generally limited in where they can go. Drones are small, hard to detect, and hard to trace back to their owner/controller. Similarly with the lasers, I've been hit at night while flying and it's not something I want to repeat. The idiots playing with it can just throw it their pocket and run off before the cops even get the coordinates.

    > lasers, I've been hit at night while flying and it's not something I want to repeat. Really?! I find it hard to hold a laser pointer steady just on the wall, I can't imagine accurately aiming it at a plane cockpit for any extended period of time. Only maybe when it's taking off or landing, and you're close I can imagine being able to do it. Of course, that is the absolute worst time to lose vision though. Can you describe your experience?
