Alleged.... No damage no loss of life or spontaneous combustion. Can we tamper our drone hatred a bit now or at least tap the brakes?
I don't have any hatred towards drones, but I have a concern about something that has the potential to be used in a dangerous way.

I wouldn't want drones to be banned, and I don't even own one. The EU are looking at implementing some sensible legislation, such as geo-fencing, which will place restrictions on drone activity, without banning them.

I think it better for everyone this legislation is implemented as soon as possible. The alternative is that nothing is done until someone flies a drone into the intake of a CF-56 engine, and then there will be a knee-jerk reaction from governments, and they will be banned outright.
