Drones are sensational but a deer rifle with a scope is going to be a much bigger threat for a long time to come. RC planes were available in '63 but I doubt Lee Harvey Oswald considered one of those.
You can stop "drones" like these with a simple net if they really become a problem.

I wonder why they released that video, though. Do they need more funding? Is it semi-faked to scare off would-be villains? Are the real things way better, and is this a diversion?
