100% agree. However, had the FAA required all UAS operators to be a CBO member the potential for the amount of those incidents would have been decreased. With membership comes access to information and more importantly, where to access information. Things that a non R/C guy walking into Best Buy to purchase a DJI drone have no clue about. Mandatory membership could have also stifled sales of such drones, again reducing the number of incidents.
