Classic False Flag: 45th Anniversary Of The Attack On USS LibertyOriginally posted by minestrone View PostI don't really believe in false flag terrorism, there are enough terrorists out there to do terror for them but the possibility for carnage is massive.
They can be flown for miles and land on a coordinate, they can carry loads. It is going to happen sooner or later.
On June 8, 1967 USS Liberty, an American auxiliary technical research ship, a military vessel specialised in gathering intelligence, was attacked by the Israeli forces. It was subject to an 18 hours combined air and sea raids that left 34 American crew-members dead

They won't ban them but you will need to have a pilot's license to fly one. You will be allowed to fly up to a certain (smallish, maybe 200 ft) height before having to register a flight plan. There will also be no fly zones near airports and MOD buildings, etc.
If you are caught flying one without a pilot's license, you will find yourself as the new wife of Mr Big in the west wing of HMP Barlinnie

One quite good proposal I saw for 'utility' drones was the use of a leash. I kid you not.
It sounds silly, but a drone that has to be physically connected to the controlling device requires way less regulation and can still perform many of the legitimate roles that private civilian drones are used for.
By keeping the drone small and keeping the leash to a length of less than 200m the restrictions on the users can be significantly reduced (no licence required as it can't go up into airspace etc etc)Last edited by NickyBoy; 8 December 2014, 17:21.Comment
