Please correct me if I am wrong - but is the last sentence in the article completely wrong? " It is currently illegal to use drone aircraft in US airspace without special clearance from the FAA, and it might take a little longer than expected for that to change. " Did they meant to say "legal"?

NPR did a story on this a week ago [0], which also has a link to the FAA's status page for unmanned aircraft [1] 0: http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/06/13/190369460/Guidelines-For-Commercial-Drones-Expect-To-Come-By-2015 http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/06/13/190369... 1: http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/uas/ http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/uas/
