I fail to see why everyone seems to be panicking about (amateur) drones when most of them will weigh less than a parrot or a goose and fly just about as fast.

Anything that is bigger, heavier or faster will usually be so expensive that the operators thereof won't be keen on taking big risks anyway.

It will be a long time before drones represent anything more than a tiny fraction of the risks pilots and passengers already face when flying

BTW, it's the pilots job to maintain safety and control, not government or the regulator...
