The lawyers can't wait for when these drones start crashing into each other.

Or flying over my air space.   

Let's fast forwards a couple of decades, shall we?
Picture a new and yet even bigger drone, one capable of carrying thousands of pounds making multiple drops, all the while outfitted with the latest in NSA spy equipment, such as infrared capability to see deep into buildings, lasers that can read sound waves (talking), all available today, and crap we can't even begin to imagine for tomorrow.

And all housed in your friendly little delivery drone. There's a reason why the govt essentially buys UPS' trucks for them, and why you'll never know who is really behind the computer of your friendly little neighborhood delivery drone.

One more reason we need to abolish Homeland Security and put NSA under the watchful eye of a public sector.
Yes folks, this is not conspiracy shit, this is the future.

That's the thing.  I like the convenience (believe me), but with that is coming a direct line from your purchase, credit card, to the exact location of your house.

All the while spying in on your home, every room snooped, even your closets and dressers, all done without warrant, because they have their own secret court issuing blanket warrants.
My next home will be a bunker.

If it isn't the government's, it's yours. And if it IS the government's, you have no idea where it went, yes?

Wear a disguise and use a net to capture it, they will have live feeds from most likely 8K feeds with zoom, so you want to transport it to a remote location before you finish it off, then move again and cover your tracks and bury it deep.

Just thought of a new business idea. Lead lining people's attics to prevent casual govt drone snooping.
