No worries. Drone pilots aren’t going to make it through TSA without proper 121/125/135 credentials.

I think you’re missing the point.

The (cockpit) lawyer in me would said this is so messed up. The FAA does not license pilots, FEs, instructors, etc., they certify them. These would be "certificated remote operators." And the remote operator card card doesn't look anything like all the part 61, 63 or 65 cards.

Now, place these guys at a crime scene or protest and yes, I'd prefer to wear something that distances me from the huddled masses so I don't get baton'd or hit.

Not only that, but cops & security guards harassing everyday photographers as well. Drones take it to a slightly different level with regards to mistrust & ignorance.

Lots of drone operators in Paris these days. Wearing the yellow vest definitely sets them apart from the protesters.
