At one time, and maybe it is still so, the frequency requirements for the onboard camera had to opeate in the HAM band and you had to have a ham license to use it. If that is still true then why can't the FCC confiscate every drone system at every hobby store that operates in 2.4GHxz or 5.8GHZ as most of them do? These are the people making the money. These are the people who are letting the problem get worse. I used to like my LHS until profit become a driving factor over flying.
