So , In tonight's news , they announced the first ever FAA allowed drone delivery was accomplished today . Of course , the news also mentioned the future plans of other companies with regards to drone deliveries , and I had to wonder ........

In this brave new future , where thousands of drones are zipping about the skies , all going about their pre programmed delivery missions , How long do ya think it's gonna take for criminals to realize that shooting these things down could be downright lucrative , in that the stolen goods basically fall right into their hands ? In today's world where crooks steal forklifts and drive off with entire ATMs , I wouldn't put it past the criminal element to see all these delivery drones as "easy pickins" and cause real problems by shooting a bunch of them down .
