Here's the answer to part of the problem.

Mike

When the government uses that application , it will be considered a covered activity under the mandate of "keeping the skies safe" .

When a private citizen uses it , the government will charge them with "interfering with an aircraft during flight" and the prosecution will begin in earnest .

When you think a bit more about it , , , do you really want any average joe having the ability to "bring down" any aircraft , when they have no control over where it falls especially when using the "disable" function ? .....Possible scenario ; some average joe shuts off someone else's drone , which then falls out of control and kills someone , , , you can bet the person who disabled the drone will face charges .
