- fit2rule 8y agoI was taking a walk recently in a relatively industrial neighbourhood, around which were fields often buzzing with recreational/sport drone flyers (pushing us plane nerds to higher ground, naturally), and I have had the thought many times that there are already opportunities for bad actors to do things with drones in such places. The rec- flyers are but a hairs-width away from high drama, alas. RC/multi-rotor tech has just gotten incredibly high-performance, to a quite new market of people.. It will be interesting to see how much this drone tech will be canned. Its all fun and games until someone weaponises it at mass scale.
