I agree it will have to be the FAA that will have the power to rein in the rouge flyers, first I think the FAA needs to start a education campaign with literature included in all kits sold
in the usa. This literature needs to include the penalty for endangering full scale planes and people and property on the ground and the penalty should be realistic, A 10k fine
on a first offense is too much. I think the FAA should use all media available to get the word out maybe even offer rewards to turn in someone you see flying in a unsafe manner.

Also I think local law enforcement need to trained to properly respond and deal with offenders, I think if the steps I outlined are followed this drone problem could be greatly
curtailed in a year or two.
