Incidentally, I'll lay my cards on the table.
If a drone takes out an airliner tomorrow, I still don't think they should be banned.
All new (and in fact old) technologies have accidents.
That is part of the path of life.
Planes kill people.
Cars kill people.
Nuclear power stations kill people.
Coal fire power stations kill people.
Knives kill people.
Trains kill people.
Lawnmowers kill people.
Footballs kill people.
Trousers kill people. (go read the ONS report!)
Ladders kill people.
Pets kill people.
Drones will, eventually, kill some people.
So what?
Nothing is all good or all bad. (except Morris Dancing. It has no redeeming features)
Drones have the potential to revolutionise many areas of life and I think society will look back and laugh at the current luddites.

Reason: Morris dancing was pointed out to me!
