Throwing this concept out for discussion.
TRUST certification compliance is abysmal in the US. Suppose your drone couldn't fly until the TRUST certification had been successfully completed?
It would work like this: When you get a new drone, it requires an activation code to be submitted to the manufacturer as part of the activation process. This code is generated by the TRUST certifying entity, upon successful completion of the TRUST process. It is tied to the drone serial number.
Please leave out of the discussion the logistics, operation, etc. of how this would work. Assume the FAA, TRUST proxies, drone manufacturers, etc. are all integrated and it works.
Would this be a good idea? Too "Big Brother"?
I hate authoritarianism, and seek as small a government footprint as possible, minimal interference and interaction from "the man" in my life. Yet, I also completely see the need for traffic lights and laws, and fully support them in concept (if not every detail of implementation). This is like that, IMO.
