Dad, son fight FAA over gun-firing, flame-throwing drones

I think this is an invasion of privacy. Drones for recon and combat is one thing but you see people buying this high tech gadgets and flying them all over the place. A guy was flying on at the park where I took my niece and nephew to play.. we left immediately.

You don't find many backyards like that in California, so no, I wouldn't expect anyone to be flying drones with guns and flame throwers around here. In Connecticut, it appears more prudent. Inasmuch as they posted videos of their "escapades" on YouTube it doesn't seem that they are up to no good, so what is the problem? But, that's just the opinion of a law-abiding citizen. It appears that our government in this, and many other cases, no longer trust its citizenry to law-abiding. Sadly, they are more concerned with protecting us from ourselves than in protecting us from criminals and terrorists. But, again, that's just an opinion (and we all, especially those who serve/have served, know what opinions are worth, don't we?).
