chinese drunk droner crashes spy into white house
How did I wake up in a Douglas Adams novel today, did anyone check for vogons? The only way it could be better is if he was drunk on russian vodka. http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/01/28/after_white_house_crash_d... The only logical explaination for this is someone who knows how completely busted and broken the system has gotten is trying to make a point. It's the complete absurdity of stuff like this that convinces me that no 'vast government conspiracy' could ever survive the organizational incompetence. Or at least, that's what the vogons want me to think.

LOL... I see no vogons here. Is it possible North Korea to be also involved? ;)

Well.: http://rys.io/en/54 "Quadcopters and similar, hovering-capable drones will be soon banned, probably as weapons, probably under "anti-terrorism" laws. (...) They will get banned, and will get banned as "terrorist devices". You will hear arguments that, for example, they are able to help "terrorists" plant explosives or create havoc and are very hard to take down once airborne. The funny part is: we had flying drones in the form of RC planes and copters for years upon years and nobody thought about banning them. Moreover, these would be much better-suited for the supposed "terrorists", as they are bigger and more powerful — able to carry a bigger amount of explosives, on a longer distance, faster and therefore harder to intercept." -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147

How about this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/osmissile/ History: http://www.interestingprojects.com/cruisemissile/bio.shtml This was squashed, as I recall.

http://towerhobbies.com/ Hobbyists, tinkerers and hacks (and various baddies unrelated to them) won't care about such bans. They'll just add relatively untraceable, unjammable, SDR wideband radio as their remote control.

http://aardvark.co.nz/pjet/ Squashing inhibits the source of new tech at its very roots, the backyard. And kills off innocently fun applications of same. The way the US, UK, and other places have been acting lately, they'd be happy with bombing your crypto back to the stone age.

Oh, I have not a shred of doubt about that! Thing is, such a ban (just as with encryption[1]) is not about banning 'copters (or encryption). It's about making their users easy to prosecute should need arise.
