I mentioned this Amazon stuff knowing this is a publicity stunt ahead 
of their most important calendar period. Could well be Pizza Hut with a 
new commercial as pizza delivery is also known to work well with drones.

Nonetheless, it may send yet another message to the American "FAA" 
(aviation regulators), the turning point of this story by 2015. People 
(companies) will seek this as a new market. For now, it's like Linux for 
Microsoft, hobbyist stuff, an experiment.

Wish I could attend the next tech meeting and execute some demos. I 
recognize that people who can add "strengthened security" to this 
solution will take the lead. I would propose there for us to create a 
"task force" and people interested on the subject start gathering data 
and putting things together for the benefit of all. That's what I'm 
doing right now.

Anyway.
