Unrelated to anything in the article, but I know commercially available drones are programmed to shut down when entering restricted airspace. I wonder if they're programmed to shut down close to any sort of civilian stuff like a large crowd, or a place someone would want to keep private?

    Something that just popped in my head for no reason is that most decent quadcopters broadcast the gps coordinates of the person operating them.
