People flying drones would need to be at least 17 years old, pass an aeronautics test and be vetted by the Transportation Security Administration, but a certificate wouldn't require the flight hours or medical rating of a private pilot's license.

NOTE: These are the preliminary rules regarding UAV. The final regs have yet to be submitted.

As with guns and other things, IMO these laws, requirements and regulations apply only to responsible and law abiding citizens. But my thinking is about the ones that want to fly drones for the wrong reasons. If I were to fly a drone/rc plane with the intentions to harm and/or kill, I would easily buy what I want, test it, and modify it to my needs. Would I get involved in obtaining permits or following the rules? Heck No! So in the end all the government effort and imposing limitations only affects most of us, the responsible citizens, but laws are not required for criminal acts.
