    Oh for the drones!

    Who woulda thunk it? First, we have our good friends at Google doing the 'mapping' thing with their vehicles. Really didn't think much of that as it went on. Seemed kinda tame, don't you think? Then comes along drones, who have the ability to levitate over our property and easily look into out windows and back yards. Now that's a horse of a different color. Should we be paranoid over this? I don't think paranoid is probably the best word to apply to this. I'm thinking 'damn concerned' actually, especially after the comment by the man flying a drone up next to the windows, and stating that he ' has a right ' to do that. If, and I truly mean IF , we lived in a world where everyone obeyed the laws, respected each others privacy, and never used ill gotten information to harm others, THEN I would not be concerned with the drones. But that certainly is not the case. I foresee all kinds of ways that individuals and companies will use the drones to invade our privacy and use the information gained through this method to wreak havoc and criminality on society.
    There has to be some limits put on the drones.
    Anyone agree or disagree with me?
