Google’s Eric Schmidt: Private drone use should be banned
• James Ball, The Guardian via RawStory.comThe use of cheap, miniature “everyman” drones needs to be banned by international treaties before such devices fall into the hands of private users including terrorists, the head of Google has said.
I would agree if governments were included in the ban. ALL governments. Otherwise, they should be available to anyone in the model airplane department of every hobby shop in the world.
Clearly only the government is worthy of drone use. It's not as if they'd use drones to cause the wanton deaths and destruction of civilians, and effectively eliminate the right to due process. No, drones should only be banned for use by civilians who may use them to empower themselves in personal, industrial, and watchdog applications...God forbid.
