In all seriousness, how long before one crashes and injures some one, ive seen enough model aircraft crash and burn over the years. Lawyers could be happy with this development.

It's that bonkers syndrome (syndrone?) "do something just to prove you can", it's always the same when technology precedes a practical requirement.

It's tough, training my dog to ignore the Postman, and go for the Drone.

Re: Cyber Crime

I don't quite understand how this con works, as a member of Amazon prime I use them almost exclusively these days, when the item arrives they won't even give it to me in the car park here I have to go back up stairs to my flat to receive it, they simply won't hand anything over without a signature and proof you have keys to the front door it's addressed to.

That's simple, there will be a sterile swab which you will scrape inside your mouth, which you put in a scanner to check your DNA.

Possibly they've had orders to get a lot more strict now because of the fraudsters? Dunno Julie.

Maybe they mug the couriers even? They'll probably soon find of way of 'mugging' the drones as well.

Re: Cyber Crime

From what I have read, the drones will be flying at 400 feet. I think it would be difficult to hit one with a catapult. Also they can fly very fast and strangely they would be quiet at that height.
