Don't Get Too Excited Yet
Before you get excited about a drone dropping a package at your doorstep, know that the Federal Aviation Administration isn't giving the go-ahead yet. And not for some time. In an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said his company was working on a way to let unmanned aircraft do deliveries, hopefully within five years. But the FAA is moving slowly on drones for commercial use. It plans to propose rules next year that could allow limited use of drones weighing up to 55 pounds. But those rules are expected to include major restrictions on where drones can fly.

Arm that drone with a camera feed direct to the NSA and it will be approved in 15 minutes...
NO NO NO
Too bad the FAA isn't moving that slowly on the use of drones by the military, FBI, Homeland Security, Treasury, and various other police agencies. I guess they don't want civilians endangering the march toward complete and total surveillance of 320 million innocent Americans.
Never happen without NSA approval, then it's target time!
