Official envisions a day when millions of drones fill skies

I see this never happening for fast food: 1. white noise, 2. personal-injury accidents and lawsuits, 3. damage to drones deliberate or otherwise, 4. damage to property.

I already see this happening for farms fields, utility companies, emergency management, insurance companies, search and rescue.

i bet the nsa will own more than half the drones whose sole true function is super-surveillance

the other half will belong mostly to paparazzi

My dad is one of the unlicensed ones. Granted, his drone is one of those Costco specials unable to lift anything over the drone's as-delivered weight of 8 ounces, but he's still supposed to register it. He refuses. Oh well. :-/ Even if he went off the deep end and managed to get it up in the way of a jet engine, everything's plastic except for the copper winding on the motors and the wires running to the motors. The jet engine wouldn't even burp.

There's also the Drone Racing League (DRL):
