The USA's FAA and unmanned aerial vehicles / systems

Not sure how many readers may have thought that The Economist article and my response were a little 'too futuristic' but last week I heard that the US Federal Aviation Administration was looking into how to integrate UAV (Umanned Aerial Vehicles) into US domestic airspace.

Go here to for more from the FAA http://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=68004

and here for a discussion http://www.cbc.ca/day6/blog/2012/06/08/unmanned-drones-pr/

As I said, the Economist has done a service in alerting us to the need to pay more attention to what is going on around us.

First we need to start a conversation, thinking through the implications is much harder.
