let the gun rights pass so everyone can take the drones down. Seriously though it's a problem.

Years ago when I worked in Champaign-Urbana, the local cops routinely reported "deer sightings" over police radio to alert other officers of female students sunbathing.

This one ends with anonymous drones shooting down the official government ones. That in turn will become a problem that the government will "Crack down on any day now!" .... "any day now" ....

IIRC there is at least one recorded case of a (piloted!) microlight being shot down by an annoyed nude sunbather. In South Africa, IIRC, probably 1990-ish.
