Comment on Amazon Unveils Delivery By Droneparent

How do you figure?

Lots of ways to knock out a drone out of the sky.

Presumably they'll have GPS and will phone home constantly- if someone shoots it down/hits it with a thrown ball/etc Amazon will probably send someone out to find it. If they find it mounted on someone's wall like a hunting trophy they'll call the police.

Shoot it down, take out the battery, put it in a faraday cage bag and sell it to the blackhat hardware modder. It ain't pretty but a few of those, and you can afford both food and mortage. You got to live off something, and jobs have been hard to come by since The Automatization. </story>

Maybe there's a camera live-streaming the flight, hell; within 10 miles of the warehouse maybe there's a guy in a tower with a pair of binoculars.
