Nice post! I have been watching the development of drones and the legislation that has accompanied them and it really didn't make much sense. People have been flying RC aircraft for decades, even with cameras attached, so it's not like drones were anything new in that regard. The current laws made owning and operating drones much more complicated than it needed to be.

Do you know if they will still require corporations to register theirs? The reason I ask is that farmers have been trying to use them to survey their fields quickly and effectively. They are, technically, companies and are subject to corporate laws.
