If you operate a drone, Uncle Sam wants to know your name. The
Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration
announced a speedy new plan to require all drones to be registered by
their operators, whether they're used for commercial, media, research,
aid or recreational purposes.
Monday's news from Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and FAA
Administrator Michael Huerta follows an increase in reports of
near-misses involving drones around airports and of interference with
public safety workers.
It also sets an aggressive schedule: The plan is to have the registry in
place by the holidays, when the FCC expects over 1 million drones to be
sold.

The real questions, of course:
Will the NRA object to drone registration?
Will cops check drones for registrations?
Will Romney declare that drones are people?
Will drones have the right to marry pencil sharpeners?
But, if you are a Libertarian, you don't have to register your
drone...if it crashed into an airliner, well, hell, that's just the
unregulated free market at play.
Trying to give Andy Borowitz a run for his job, eh Krause? At satire, you both suck.
Borowitz actually writes his stuff, unlike certain plagiarizer. Wonder how
f that is a holdover from university?
