That drones could be used for nefarious purposes was kind of obvious after years of deadly US drone strikes. That didn't seem to tip off regulators, however. Not until anyone could buy drones capable of carrying heavy cameras or other equipment anywhere.

Either way these regulations don't help much when people just don't care, as can be seen with all the drones flying too close to airports.

Pretty sure nobody was going to buying surplus/refurb Predators and flying them around the neighborhood.

When the recreational/commercial models got range and mass enough to get in the way of aircraft, that's when the first round of "whoa!" kicked in.

Still going to take more work to figure out reasonable controls.
