Its an interesting discussion, if there's debate here among people in the aviation industry imagine what the general public must think?
At the end of the day drones are simply not controllable from the authorities POV. Oh there are regulations in place for sure as they need to be but we also have road rules, who obeys them all? NO ONE on the planet!
As soon as mankind invents something it gets abused, all the rules under the sun mean zip, fact of life!
