Abstract
As America’s military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan winds down, many drones are coming home for use in border protection and municipal law enforcement. But domestic drone deployment is proliferating in other ways, too—in fact, anyone with a few hundred dollars can buy a sophisticated, unmanned aerial vehicle over the counter. Some operators are defying the law and flying their drones for commercial purposes—be they journalists following a story, real estate agents selling a house, or paparazzi chasing celebrities. This program examines the issue and explains how a congressional order could lead to tens of thousands of drones taking off legally into an already crowded sky, competing for space with domestic aviation. It’s a regulator’s nightmare—but some of its staunchest opponents have raised the possibility of an even greater danger: terrorist drones.
