The biggest gripe I have with weaponized drones is the disconnection between people and responsibility. When a policeman shoots somebody, the ultimate responsibility for the shot is clearly attached to him and there’s little space for denial. When a drone harms somebody, the responsibility for the act is no longer obvious. The government can talk about security logs and similar precautions all night long, but there’s always a way around that. Whenever something can harm humans on purpose, there should be another human directly attached to it.
