A drone pilot is apt to make fewer errors and more time to think before unloading. This removal from immediate reality is a double edged sword, there is less immediate harm to them but that also affords the remote pilot to consider things more coldly and calculatedly. There is more Tim to think before unloading, so that means fewer mistakes. When you have humanned aircraft, you get lots more collateral and unintended casualties.

People intrinsically have a problem with the clinicality of technological enhancement.

Imagine an algorithm which could tell a police force who is likely out to commit crimes given observed parameters (time, route, familiarity in area, vehicle, passengers, origin, destination, income, education, criminal history, etc) people would be freaked out. I'm sure some day well have this and people will wish for good old police walking the beat, mistakenly stopping the wrong person, but at least its not an impersonal algorithm targeting you.
