Why can't I hover above a ship while staring at it and recording what I see?

  Hover over two times, drop a bomb the third. Though in this case, it's not hovering over, it's politely observing from a distance (8,000 yards?)

  What’s the difference between a drone and a guided missile? Is it because the drone can be shot down easily that we know it couldn’t possibly be threatening us? That’s fine until a drone drops 50g of suspicious powder across the deck.

    Seriously? A missile is a weapon. Should I, paddling by in my kayak, be torpedoed by the Navy because I could be concealing a weapon?

      The stakes are completely different for manned vehicles vs a DJI parrot loaded with anthrax. The cost to you — a hypothetical attacker — is now “your life” instead of “$5000”, and the cost to the defending vessel is now “we killed someone :(“ instead of “sorry about your drone no we aren’t replacing it now piss off”. I suspect if you looked like a Google image search for “fundamentalist suicide bomber”, you might find yourself being asked some anxious questions / shot at.
