I saw this article and thought of all of the poor mechwarrors who will be spending their retirement behind bars =P. Made me chuckle and I wanted to share.

The penalty for shooting down a drone could soon be as much as 20 years in prison if the Federal Aviation Administration classifies UAVs as aircraft.

Lets see, I shot at a UAV on Caustic Valley last week. Does this mean that I'm in trouble?

It looks like it's time for most of us to go "off the grid". But then again, check out today's (6/30/15) Dilbert strip.
