Used responsibly these devices are wonderful technology and there are untold potential positive ways to use them. Having said that, I was in Brookstone the other day and there is a whole section of quads for sale... you see them in many mainstream stores now and the local hobby shops have them prominently featured all over their windows and shelves.

Now that these quadcopter type devices are available to the masses I don't know how you can control it any more than you can control, say, people who text while driving. You can put laws in place and fines and the consequence of jail time but there are always many who will continue to violate the rules. There are just too many people with these things- not "modelers" like us- folks with little or no RC background or guidance of which too many don't think about or have any interest in using them responsibly.
