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. http://tinyurl.com/oynud59 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. |
