New FAA Ruling for USA - Drone Operators are Pilots

Just saw this on NPR web site, maybe not a complete fix but it covers the larger and more hazardous ones:

"Starting Dec. 21, all operators of small drones — devices weighing between 0.55 pounds and 55 pounds — need to go online and register their names and addresses with the Federal Aviation Administration. The government would issue a registration number that would need to be displayed on that person's entire fleet of drones."
