Now that I think about it.... You think the flock of geese that brought down US Air 1549 was just maybe caused by a bunch of nefarious characters flying loads of birdseed to the ends of the runways...
When we make drones illegal, only criminals will fly drones. How many commercially available drones are made from titanium? Folks do know that drones didn't exist a decade ago like they do know, right? Hobbyists built the first drones from readily available R/C parts and motors. i.e. The terrorists will still be able t make drones even if regular folks can't buy them. But what is the range of a drone? How about a high powered Browning? Do we have a problem with folks taking random shots at planes? We do sometimes... The incidents are easy to find with Google. I guess if we outlaw guns--we would never need to worry about anyone shooting at a plane again...
