There is nothing to allow. The cat is already out of the bag. Best you can hope for is regulation, which is what FAA is attempting to do and mitigation ( some companies have ideas on how to counter 'bad' drones ). In a sense, it is no different than it was before. People can still drive cars. People can still use RC toys. And people will do all sorts of horrible things will all manner of technology.

<< I can think of a few modifications to drones, I've yet to see in Ukraine, that could increase their lethality 10x.

I don't know this, but I suspect we are only seeing some rather selective footage ( as with most warfare propaganda ). Just thinking what one could do with coordinating drones makes me shiver a little.

Still, as a species we are oddly adaptable. Here is to hope permanent drone sky will not become our new normal.
