New U.S. FAA rule requires drone owners to register by Feb 19
The comments here really surprise me. My dad&#x27;s a pilot, and I&#x27;ve heard from him firsthand how drones are a very serious problem for airplanes. Comments like &quot;this is just one more example of tracking&quot; or &quot;I can&#x27;t believe I have to do this even if it&#x27;s only for my house&quot; seem to be said out of anger rather than from serious consideration of the issues with drones. Your $30 drone can very easily cause someone else&#x27;s $1,000,000 airplane serious damage, and as drones get more sophisticated and more capable the danger will only increase.<p>I want to say &quot;Just because you can make it doesn&#x27;t mean you can use it irresponsibly&quot;, but people will take issue with my use of the words &quot;can&#x27;t&quot; and &quot;irresponsibly&quot;. It&#x27;s probably easier to say as follows: when you&#x27;re playing in the sandbox, you play nice with other kids. Here, when you&#x27;re playing in the air, you have to play nice with other things in the air. The fact your toy is tiny and easy to use doesn&#x27;t change the fact that you&#x27;re still playing in the same sandbox as everyone else.
