    Instead of shrugging our shoulders with the fail of, "Well, that's just the Internet," we need to identify the incompetent and make them pay.

    Businesses are not motivated to give a shit unless there's financial gain or cost avoidance.

    That's the ONLY reason businesses have fire extinguishers, sprinklers, smoke alarms and fire exits.

    We are all here statisticians.

    Look at the population sizes and probabilities of the demographics.

    As JustAnotherOldGuy points out, there are a few cyber coin exchanges and a shit load of headcount that would like to grab some play dough.

    Given the small number of players inside the exchange perimeters as compared to the billions who are on the outside, trying to get in, and given that ALL players have the same goddam hardware and software and mental capabilities, the odds are that many people outside the exchange inner circle are very much more savvy than the people guarding the gates of the exchanges.

    Hunnert dollas to a hole in a donut says the exchange took advantage of recent "GOVERNMENTS DEMAND BACKDOORS" to cash out and blame it on the backdoor buzzword of the day.

    I'll bet you a dollar to a hole in a doughnut that most people don't have a drone, don't want a drone, and don't know bullshit from wild honey about drones to the point that those who do have one mostly crash them. Look it up on YouTube®.

    The common sense rules work to void the expectations of irresponsible people who want to fly fucking video-equipped toy airplanes over cars, people, houses, and power lines.

    The word, "drone," is a media-applied description.

    The FAA does not use the word drone. It uses, "Unmanned Aircraft System."

    You are correct in that it's simply any small airplane, regardless of configuration (fixed-wing, helicopter, quad-copter, whatever).

    Here's a FAQ.

    No. People don't need fucking toy airplanes.

    For the few who insist on getting one, they need to pony up and get one that carries a database of no-fly, downloaded from the Internet and described in terms a simple GPS can understand.

    Scenario:

    A wildfire breaks out. FAA temporarily invokes no-fly for drones in a particular area. My drone won't cross the perimeter and returns an error that translates into: "Sorry, but I'm not allowed to go there."

    The no-fly applies to permanent areas, as well.
