First Amazon Drone, then , Police Drone. Drone is serving human, then, human will serving Drone. What we love today, might be of what we will fear tomorrow.
It was just a marketing gimmick for heaps of free advertising to amazon the day before cyber Monday aka online black Friday. nothing like this is coming soon.
The next time you see a drone in the sky just outside your home, it could be that new book you ordered from Amazon or it could be the military drone coming to exterminate you for being an enemy of the American state.

Some good points in there, but some are a bit silly: Why would a drone need your personal Amazon data? All it knows is that it's flying from point A to point B, releasing cargo and then flying back to point A again. Yeah, well, maybe Americans are just going to have to learn to stop shooting things if they want reliable services... Obviously the drone application is new, but we've had easements (rights-of-way) in law for centuries. Easements are considered property in themselves, so you could quite easily sell (or rent) the right to fly a drone over your property if you wanted to. Of course your neighbor would then sell their air space for a few bucks less and then you'd drop your price and and so on until you'd eventually both decide that you like having stuff delivered by drone in thirty minutes flat and decide it's not really worth worrying about. Either that, or Amazon could just say they won't deliver anything to your address, either by drone or by post, if they can't fly over your land, and as a private company they're perfectly entitled to decline your business if you're being an a***hole. Well, the first thought that comes to mind is that attaching GSP transponders to them and sending a guy out from the warehouse 10 miles away to pick up any that happen to get lost would seem like a pretty obvious answer to "what happens?" ("Go get it, dumbass!"). The drones would be relatively cheap so if one or two get permanently lost it won't be the end of the world. Anyone honestly think Amazon is going to be deploying these to areas where they'd be flying close to the border of a hostile country? That would be just stupid.
