What I find so disconcerting is that society in general takes the attitude that nothing bad should ever happen. That's what our politicians promise- to regulate and supervise to prevent any bad occurrences. I grew up understanding that accidents will happen, and there will always be idiots, and that's part of life and living in a free country. From what I can see, flying FPV near airports is the real issue. I recall seeing a prototype drone a couple of years ago that could shoot out a net to take down an RC model if it was in restricted airspace. So why isn't that tech being developed and deployed near airports where the problem actually is? That way, the FAA could not worry about what people are doing in safe places and keep pilots and their equipment safe at the same time.
