I've recently became interested in flying drones and the latest proposed government rules prohibit use of drones in other than uninhabited areas. These rules seem to be designed for the youthful flyer and not the responsible adult. Moreover the need for licensing and permits to fly infringe on my ability to learn and explore the capabilities of this new technology. Don't we have enough restrictions that limit our freedoms?
