Considering Amazon don't like Aussie credit cards, I shouldn't have to worry about any Spy Drones coming by my place any time soon.

I'm most excited by the idea of flying toilet paper. If you run out, this is a great idea.

A bottle of wine, toilet paper, Maggie, I'm on the same page as you. The possibilities are endless.

 

[Maggie Green]

They truly are!

Just what America needs more platforms in the air so the NSA can go door to door everyday. My question is what happen when something goes wrong, property damage, personal injury?? I doubt this will ever come to reality!!

Melissa Francis (who on a daily basis battles Michelle Caruso-Cabrera of CNBC for title of The Dumbest Woman in Business News) went on & on about this on Fox Business News the other day. Even after the guy she was interviewing explained to her that this was just a publicity stunt by Jeff Bezos (all day long, every news show mentioned Amazon every few minutes), Melissa "Miss Little House on the Prairie" Francis kept beating the dead horse, asking increasingly nonsensical questions about drones. You couldn't even legally do this now and the rules that will govern commercial drone use are just now being formed by the FAA and state governments. I heard that 2020 or beyond is the target date for implementation. Who knows? :dunno:

I agree with the analyst that was on CNBC who was talking about this: as publicity stunts go, this one has to be in the Top 10 over the past 25 years.

If they're anything like the American military drones, they'll probably just drop my package on a Pakistani farmer.

 

[squallumz]

thinking about it, someone sees the stupid drone right (because everyone will be looking at first).

then, the stupid thing dumps off the package (and of course its porn).

isn't that kind of a sign saying, free shit where i just landed and took off?

Not so fast with your drone hate. Drone lifeguards.
