The FAA is worried about drunk drones.

[dfwgator]

Damn them to Hell.

[golux]

Silly fat endangered tax-paying independent capitalists. The technology you create and manage is is for GOVERNMENT, not for you.

[Yo-Yo]

[andyk]

They’re telling them to stop on what authority? If it flies, we are your master?

[SandRat]

They cold try Beer Bombers.

[b4its2late]

I’d say screw them and let them try to stop it. They start shooting them down, that might get the natives restless.

[Made In The USA]

Let me get this straight- I can smartphone up an a round of beers and have them airlifted to me?! Civilization has finally evolved!

[bmwcyle]

Submarine delivery, the feds will never know.

[IronJack]

Under what authority? The FAA doesn’t own the skies. Do I need their permission to fly a kite? An RC plane? A hobby rocket? why should someone have to ask the government for permission to do something this harmless?

[DoughtyOne]

I wonder how long it took for the FAA to approve of various government entities using drones to keep us in check. 5..., 10 seconds..., a full minute?

[imardmd1]

Beer bombs.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Dodging beer drones doesn’t sound like an activity that mixes with fishing.

[NonValueAdded]

OMG, it’s like the beer fairy!

[Joe Boucher]

as a pilot who flys real planes I worry about running in to some of this crap.

[G Larry]

Don’t Ask - Don’t Tell

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Children beware. Kites, balloons, toy rockets

[Dead Corpse]

My copy of the Constitution does not have the FAA listed...

Axe it.

If we need a “standards” organization, set a private one up like the IEEE or Underwriters Laboratories.

[MortMan]

The rules (meaning laws) for mixing unmanned systems with aircraft are not yet available in civilian airspace. That means that pilots in the same airspace cannot know what the drone will do, or how to react to a drone in their flight path.

They are working on the rules. Once they are set, then (presuming the drones used by the distributor comply with the rules) the beer can be delivered.

For everyone who believes that this should be unregulated, consider one question: Would you fly on an airliner that didn’t meet airworthiness requirements? I know I wouldn’t.

No State or anyone else can stop federal drones. Drones are the next iteration of SWAT raids. They have fewer complications and cost a lot less. First the feds will use them, somewhat discretely, then more openly then the states and local departments will see the advantages of SWADs (Special Weapons Assault Drones).
