I don't think the dangers need to be downplayed.

The incidence does need to be looked at. I think we blame drones for all sorts of things that are not drones these days.

There are already many cases on the books of drones flying into approach paths of airliners in many airports, including several into JFK. Just last week there was a case of a police helicopter that had a very close call with a drone (the helicopter pilot did execute collision avoidance, and police on the ground tracked the drone operator.) Incidence is there and rising.

What do drones get blamed for that aren't drones, exactly?
