There's something about drones that seems to engender this - it's like people think the word 'drone' means 'thing which is outside the normal scope of consequences'. Like, for example, people are actually shooting other people's drones down[1]. And when Amazon talk about using drones for delivery, the first response in any discussion is "what's to stop people stealing the drones?"

You're right, drones are like the internet of the sky.
