Go back and read it again. The UAS (aircraft) gets registered. Of course, the buyer

That is not what that linked proposal says. It was going to register
"operators".
I still think the whole thing is ridiculous. As bad as the stupid idea
to log ammo sales, license CB operators or even to license everyone
with a marine VHF. All of those ideas were abandoned once they finally
realized the futility of it.

The legislation will have to end up being on behavior of the operator,
not the inanimate object. That will be a local ordinance if it is
going to work. What might make perfect sense inside the beltway would
be pretty silly out in the boonies where Harry lives.
