From general reports there isn't much left of the Thresher to recover. The pressure shredded it and in the debris field the most they could locate was a foot or so of marled pipe. This was of many thousands of pieces that were located.
I would have to wonder if they will effectively separate classes on a ship as they did in that time, this hardly seems like it would be a popular concept in modern day, however it is hardly an accurate recreation if they ignore this aspect.
A very good point. I don't really feel as though the FAA would know or care in 99% of situations where people would operate such equipment in any case. No more than as many have said operating an RC plane. I would readily use one in daily operations. Let us hope the stink of a Newscorp type exposure leads to needless regulation. FAA drone regulation belong with larger drone aircraft which they will hopefully balance out with a weight regulation or some other common definition.
If you read the story they simply responded and said they would investigate the use of drones based upon what was basically a complaint about the situation.
This could have just as easily been their brush off move, making this at this stage, a non story.
The company that sells the relevant Microdrone markets it as for use by real estate and many other purposes which I am sure is the case.
The drone in question was:

Perhaps the most insightful post ever, in a sea of ignorance about economics.
Taxing SMB's heavily kills the jobs that the middle class needs to survive. My company would be at best half the size it is now, with half the employees if taxes had been over the last 5 years, as they plan to have them.
So 75 less people would have jobs, but man oh man would the other 75 enjoy their slightly lower taxes.
