Several interest links in this article:

Apparently, there is a Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College:

Also, this bit of info:

Reports of drones flying dangerously close to passenger aircraft are becoming a daily occurrence, according to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. The incursions have been mostly at low altitudes as planes were on final approach to landing, but some have occurred at cruising altitudes as high as 10,000 feet.
It also seems that Martha Stewart is a big drone fan now:

Other interesting info as the world struggles to figure this all out.
