Only until a drone delivers their "Forwarder -Obama 2016" 3rd term bumper sticker.  Then they'll spend the next week looking for "non-animal tested" adhesive so they can attach it to the bumper of their Prius. 

Banning electronics will be forgotten and they'll be on to another defense of an Obama lie by then

there are 3 parties in the USA.

Democrats = 40% of the population
Conservative = 30% of the population
RINOs = 30% of the population.

until repubs learn to work together, enjoy 8 years of Hilary/Warren, then Warren/Chelsea Clinton ;)

I originally went with shotgun, then thought "nah, dont want to damage the package!".

More skill in hitting it with a rifle anyway.

watch them try and go after firearms when these things start getting knocked out of the sky.

This annoucement has set the Interwebs abuzz. It's a fun thought, but I don't see it happening anytime soon - and not for technical reasons.

it will fall apart because amazon will not send drones to black neighborhoods for obvious reasons

This just has "bad" written all over it. Accidents, vandalizers, potential for opening the door to another form of technological spying on citizens, etc.

The idea is so foolish that I can only think that this is some sort of publicity stunt.

I have to agree. I can see this being quite problematic.

15 years ago, I might have said 'Wow, how futuristic,"...and probably would have ordered something just to get a drone delivery, ...but these days, ... now knowing what I know, ...I find it extremely creepy.

Dammit! Don't do that! Now I'm all paranoid that I was, somehow, transported into some bizarre parallel universe.

This just in: Wal-Mart to install surface-to-air missiles on store rooftops to shoot down Amazon drones.

That's not too far off the mark. Those drones are hackable by wifi.
Someone can hack into the drone and have parcels delivered elsewhere.
It is sooo incredibly problematic, ...it'll be a long time  before we see anything like that, ...great PR stunt tho.

Well, assuming that:

I mean, clearly these are things that the Amazon software/hardware R&D guys haven't thought about at all. It's a good thing that someone like you, with a long and illustrious career in the field of computer security is available to Amazon. Your white-hat hacking skills and security expertise are needed! Do you offer consultation? Preferably, in 5 second increments and wrapped in plastic!

And someone can steal a UPS truck when a driver steps away with the vehicle turned on to deliver a package inside a building. That seems like a much more realistic and likely attack, especially if you consider the economics: tiny drone carrying few things vs. big truck carrying many things!

Well, assuming that:
  • they have wifi. I can see an implementation of a drone without wifi involving a dock station with a wired interface for the drone to receive instructions.
  • they're not properly configured with encryption over the wifi link; I would think that these drones would be configured pretty securely by default.
  • they accept random commands from anyone; I can design a scheme that requires commands to the drones to be digitally signed.

I see what you did here...bravo sir, BRAVO!!!
