[Scan-DC] DC "drone"?

[merlin at merlinjacobs.com]

A friend of mine and I are in to RC quad and hexa copters. We can fly them 
at thousands of feet and more than a mile away. We have them set up for live 
video transmit back to our ground station with on board recording and ground 
station recording. They have failsafe GPS return home features, etc. They 
can carry a payload of several pounds. We use them to inspect our ham towers 
and do aerial photography for our friends. As soon as some nut gets the 
bright idea to use them for evil proposes, I’m sure the government will 
regulate them.

Ummm... wait a second... I'm not supposed to be alarmed at the thought that 
we need to be protected from cruise missiles?
