Really good NYT article that answers a lot of my questions.

Still, I can't help but think that in some shape or form -- just not one so trivial as Amazon delivery -- having drones become a familiar sight in domestic skies is inevitable in the next 30 years or so. Whatever ruling the FAA comes down with will have to bend eventually, I'd put money on it.

More likely they just require anyone flying one to have a license. That's the smart thing.

And take a "flyer's test" like the real estate photographer suggested. There'll still be a lot of legal gray until we build up case law on this stuff, just like everything to do with tech these days.
