Drone fliers are either 'clueless, careless or criminal' says air traffic gros fromage

Where this term came from

The clueless, careless or criminal comes from an FAA spokesperson from 7th March 2018 and describes irresponsible drone users in the US.

*Spits out coffee* £4m for a database of drone fliers, UK.gov? Defra did game shooters for £300k

Supposedly not just a database of names and addresses

An add to this discussion, this video h t t p s://youtu.be/Es9bsJIZQ7Y is a bod from the CAA answering questions from Drone and RC flyers as to what this so called database will comprise of.

His description starts at 4.25, but whole video is 30 mins long.

He mentions (about 5.35) Autonomous drone use. Read that as Amazon, who wont have to spend a penny on this.

Call me a sceptic, does this mean a possible ban on drones and RCs to allow commercial use of that airspace for deliveries?

Whatever this means, this "project" will spiral out of control, take years and the price will go up and up.

Even so, I don't see 150,000+ people signing up to it.

And yes, someone is laughing all the way to the bank
