Most of us who fly drones respect the 400 ft max altitude and proximity to airports rules which could only be violated in most drones by turning off the GPS mode not allowing the drone to fly in no fly zones. New rules will not affect the few who don't respect any rules anyway. We need penalties for those violating present rules that will help reduce violations. After a full career flying airliners I have never had an occasional, maybe four bird strikes, cause any damage. I don't think a recreational drone is any more a threat than a large bird. Sully probably wishes he had just sucked up one illegal drone that day he landed in the Hudson river.
