95% the world's population - are idiots. And if their hands get high-tech flying machines that cost 300-400 dollars, the damage from such people more. On New Year's Eve, many get Ar.Drone 2.0 and start flying near airports and over-filled stadiums. With these clever men in the US will soon introduce legislation governing the use quadrocopter and requirements for their pilots.
