They may be, given the horrendous loss involved and the use of directional coupling. That 50 Watt limit is not absolute, it's more of a guideline for Amateur radio stations specifically, not all emitters. Your cell phone at < 4W is also closely regulated due to its proximity to human tissue. Please refer to the FCC RF exposure site for the full regs.

RF exposure is a function of frequency, duty cycle, distance, transmitter power, and antenna gain. I have a tiny 10mW 10GHz transmitter that couples its power via WR-90 waveguide. If my math is correct, that's 3.1 mW/cm^2 at the mouth of the waveguide - WAY over the exposure limit of 1.0 mW/cm^2 at 10 GHz for uncontrolled access.

Remember, sunburns are actually RF burns.

Magnetic fields don't hurt you

STATIC magnetic fields don't seem to hurt you. Time-varying magnetic fields most certainly can hurt you. In addition to ionizing radiation (x-rays, gamma rays) which can obviously hurt you, plain old radio waves can too:

Amateur radio folk have been launching private sats for a very long time, and championed the cubesat format. We foster university-sponsored sats all the time. Many of these are university-sponsored sats.

AGMs are perfectly fine aboard aircraft.

Weyl Fermions are the next 'big thing' in electronics.

AEIOU Sometimes Y was a song by Ebn Ozn"

+1 Too Funny! The Southern streaming services, that is.

I already commented so I can't give you "+1 Right on Target". What an awful singer!

It's about sound quality. I don't need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution.

Neil Young complaining about sound quality??? Neil Young, one of the worst-sounding singers on the planet??? Please.

I agree with your points - they're all well-reasoned.

What I haven't seen mentioned is the case where the drone arrives first and it's video shows the dispatchers that the fire is much larger/more involved than first reported so the dispatcher can roll additional equipment to the scene while the original trucks are still en route. That would be a major plus for having the drones.

Similarly, if the drone finds that the original report of a massive fire is more like a tiny shed on fire, they could cancel some of the equipment en route, freeing it up for other calls.

Another case: A train derailment or tractor-trailer accident. Much of the cargo carried in tank cars is in some way hazardous, and it would be very handy if a drone could show the dispatcher what placard numbers* are involved so that they can coordinate cordoning off the area and possibly evacuating residents. It would also help in making sure you have the right firefighting chemicals around - lots of hazardous stuff requires foam to extinguish and reacts rather violently with good old H2O.

*If you've never read the Emergency Response Guide, you should. Some of the nasty stuff that's hurtling down the highway next to you is very dangerous and/or toxic. It's eye-opening, to say the least.

The old L-1011 already went to 11!

Wait, the infamous bus incident happened in 1955.

That's ok, no one remembers when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, either.

You and the Flying Purple People-Eater. Oh wait, he's one eyed, one horned. - NVM.

That's Qwghlm. Did you mean Inner- or Outer Qwghlm?

We'll all scurry to the low bands where night-time groundwave propagation will still work. If the solar output drops enough, we might be able to use the low bands during the day if the lowered solar output doesn't ionize that pesky D-Layer.
