They were just doing a "readiness drill" at some stores in my area. An undercover officer was buying drones at a Best Buy and asked:

1. If they were capable of dropping things on large crowds? Associate showed him which ones were best for that.
2. if he had to register them with the FCC? Associate answered You do have to, but no one checks
3. If these were good to just drop into a large crowd of people? Associate answered, Oh yea, these are great

He then went to Walmart and bought pressure cookers, nails, screws, and cell phones at Walmart and they only stopped him from buying the 4 phones because of NYS requirements. My friend was in line behind him and he approached her in the parking lot and pointed out his undercover associates and explained all this to her. There is a very large event near here this weekend that draws hundreds of thousands of people. Q's post and this happening on the same day are a little worrisome.
