Last week the Federal Aviation Administration announced how they would integrate drones into civilian airspace by 2015. One important question is… will these be lethal combat drones, or will they be helpful robotic vehicles to serve for the good of society or both? Whether we like it or not these aerial systems are here to stay. The FBI has already used them in the US a number of times without warrants. Some estimate unmanned aerial systems will be a $10 billion industry. So when this kind of money is involved and the fact that these systems can reach into your bedroom so come the legions of lawyers to establish legal precedents in federal, state and local courts. The way I see it, this debate has far reaching implications and too important for us to ignore.
