I don't know about others but I have a tendency to gather lots of little pieces of what appear to be unrelated information and review how they might actually be distantly linked. IMO we have been getting fed a lot of media info that's providing the framework of long term planning that has a specific outcome, one that's not good for us/
Take the many media of near misses with sUAS by full scale aircraft and the clear scare mongering that is present in each article. Never mind that many of those reports are false. Toss in at least one media report of a full scale twin colliding with an sUAS that was never corrected to state the twin had actually had a bird strike. Add in the stories about how sUAS could be used for untraceable terrorist operations here in the U.S. Then we have the privacy violation implications so prevalent in the media. That one is actually possible if not likely but those stories were contrived, not actual. Essentially the media is depicting private use and ownership of sUAS as something that is undesirable and needing to be curtailed.
Open the next book and you have all the media reports of big aerospace projects presented in warm and glowing articles about how they will improve productivity and public safety, reduce delivery times for mega corporations servicing the public. Some of them even reference dates they will be placed in service. The public is certainly being conditioned via the media to accept one and reject the other, with much of the back ground and capability they need to know being omitted.
Toss in drone destruction devices and we might start to think the sky will belong to corporate America, government, and LEA's with any flight not conducted by them done only on a permission basis and restricted to relatively small, tightly controlled areas. Stray from that assigned area and be shot down, and arrested. Government loves drones but their use for them is not fun and recreation, or for the most part for commerce. They truly want them up and flying as soon as possible.
But all the above is just my opinion developed over 11 years of observation and assessment from a position inside the game. I could be wrong.
