It's like a plague....starting in one area, then spreading to another.

I want to see them take a DJI pantom, hurrel it at 400knots at various parts of mothballed passenger jets and see what happens. I've seen pictures of bird strikes involving pretty heavy birds, but none of the 2-4lb variety. How about we see what will actually happen to the plane? Got a jet engine that's out of service? Chuck a few drones into it and see what happens.

It's time to stop speculation and letting lawmakers and regulators scaremonger on this. If there's something really problematic here, let's see the actual evidence of it. Lets see what the chances of something actually happening are compared to other threats. Let's put some sanity and real knowledge into this process.

figures just something else to try and control our hobby or destroy it. I don't see a drone destroying a big jet turbine only thing maybe is electronic interference from the signals
