Here's what happens next:
1. Drones become more and more popular as kids/hackers toys
2. Eventually a drone is used in a real terrorist plot
3. Our politicians over react and ban drones
4. We all write tweets and blogs about what clueless morons our politicians are because the whole thing has been widely understood since (before?) Scott Adams wrote 'The Religion War'
