+ Drones, flying robots, are getting more and more popular. The most
+know ones are the killer drones used by some government to murder
+people they do not like without giving them the chance of a fair
+trial, but the technology have many good uses too, from mapping and
+forest maintenance to photography and search and rescue. I am sure it
+is just a question of time before "bad drones" are in the hands of
+private enterprises and not only state criminals but petty criminals
+too. The drone technology is very useful and very dangerous. To have
+some control over the use of drones, I agree with Daniel Suarez in his
+TED talk
+"<a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/daniel_suarez_the_kill_decision_shouldn_t_belong_to_a_robot.html">The
+kill decision shouldn't belong to a robot</a>", where he suggested this
+little gem to keep the good while limiting the bad use of drones:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p>Each robot and drone should have a cryptographically signed
+I.D. burned in at the factory that can be used to track its movement
+through public spaces. We have license plates on cars, tail numbers on
+aircraft. This is no different. And every citizen should be able to
+download an app that shows the population of drones and autonomous
+vehicles moving through public spaces around them, both right now and
+historically. And civic leaders should deploy sensors and civic drones
+to detect rogue drones, and instead of sending killer drones of their
+own up to shoot them down, they should notify humans to their
+presence. And in certain very high-security areas, perhaps civic
+drones would snare them and drag them off to a bomb disposal facility.</p>
+
+<p>But notice, this is more an immune system than a weapons system. It
+would allow us to avail ourselves of the use of autonomous vehicles
+and drones while still preserving our open, civil society.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>The key is that <em>every citizen</em> should be able to read the
+radio beacons sent from the drones in the area, to be able to check
+both the government and others use of drones. For such control to be
+effective, everyone must be able to do it. What should such beacon
+contain? At least formal owner, purpose, contact information and GPS
+location. Probably also the origin and target position of the current
+flight. And perhaps some registration number to be able to look up
+the drone in a central database tracking their movement. Robots
+should not have privacy. It is people who need privacy.</p>
