The implications of NON FAA CERTIFICATED UAV operation teams sitting
safely on the ground being responsible for seeing-and-avoiding
passenger carrying aircraft are ominous. How will they be held
accountable in the event of a mishap? They won't lose their lives in
the event of a mid air collision. How will the public know which
individuals are responsible? What standards will civil UAV operators
be required to meet?

I like the idea of UAV "pilots" being fitted with headsets that
explode if the UAV is involved in a mid-air. This will ensure
the appropriate level of concentration and attention to collision
avoidance.

Anyone who thinks this extreme hasn't properly understood
the responsibilities of a PIC, and certainly doesn't deserve to
make rules for those of us who take these responsibilities
very seriously.
