There are at least four negative aspects to having drones flying over our heads. As with all technological advances, there are applications that give one pause. Specifically:
o Domestic surveillance by government(s).
o A roofing contractor wanting to sell you a new roof — or even anyone wanting to know what you’re wearing, or not wearing, while sunbathing.
o Accidents involving drones resulting in property damage or injury — who pays?
o Someone loading a drone with explosives and flying into the ninth floor of corporate headquarters.
Perhaps this is not the time for domestic drones.
