Have you written about this somewhere? It's an intriguing idea that I'd like to read about. Did you go so far as to explore the technical issues? I recently got into UAVs because of http://diydrones.com/ http://diydrones.com/ and their ArduCopter http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/ http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/

This means you would need to have someone watching each drone unless you can successfully hide its operation from the government, which could be difficult since its mission is to relay electromagnetic signals back down to earth.

Therefore, you can imagine _anything_ you do is going to inhibit the free flow of information, therefore you're just as sensible to go ahead and and run some nice drones. :)
