My neighbor on the 'left' is into RC airplanes. A drone would impress him. He would want one. He would be over here trying to talk me into helping build one. After a few Molsons I'de get him to understand that it would be far too expensive. I'de get him to understand that their was no way in hell that I'de put my 35 year old muscle car out in the snow so we could park the drone in my garage.

As to the neighbor on the 'right'. Now that's a different story. Typical Teabagger type he would get all crazed out about the gubbernment spying on him. He would carry on about Obama. He would get out his AK-47 and start taking potshots at it. Taking potshots at any low flying aircraft. Not a good thing when you live close to a small airport.

Sooner or later he would hit something. It would fall from the sky, crash through my garage roof and wipe out one of the few things that came out of Detroit in the '70s that could make the white lines look like spots.

So much for ending in tears.

Do you think these serviliest/teabagger types would not do something like that?
Do you think these serviliest/teabagger types would know the difference between a drone and a Piper Cub?

The more drones their are out and about, the more chances that some nut job is going to start shooting at them.

On edit: Some artistic exaggeration was employed here. Not as as far form the truth as I'de like
