I agree with the spirit of your comment. I don't know about fingerprint scanners, and all, but get that there needs to be an interim step between buying and flying. I have never (no not ever, never) been a fan of mire regulations on anything. Especially in the case of drones - as the FAA and supporting government agencies do not have the resources to police this industry now - let alone after making more rules (down the road). This will cost taxpayers a lot of money, and in the end - they just can't police a hobby that allows us to launch from an unknown location. Education would be a good start. The FAA says that they are focusing on education, but their tied up on this and can really only police 107ers. It takes an accident before they (generally get involved). So then, how many drone related fatalities have there been? I'm NOT saying that I want this - just that the problem is not as dire as some people believe.
Agreed. I don't think it will be an accident that causes huge government and public intervention. I think it will be a
major intentional that causes it.
