> The good drone operators didn't get control over the bad ones

What does this even mean? I buy a drone and now I'm responsible to go hunt down every idiot with a drone and tell him to knock it off? I'm sure that would be very effective. Definitely much more effective than the FAA regulations already in place that these people choose to ignore.




The early drone operators and builders had the opportunity to propose and install mechanisms to manage drones properly.

Instead, they spent their political capital fighting regulations instead of making good ones that the FAA could simply adopt wholesale.

Because of that, the FAA stepped in and now everybody gets to deal with the fallout.
