Commercial drones. Warned about them years ago. A drone the size of a mosquito could kill the Governor. Who thinks foreign regimes, terrorists or other criminals will abide by FAA regulations and not use drones in American skies to spy, murder and extort? Drone profiteers do not care.

Of course everybody knows that it's illegal to fly drones even recreationally below 400 feet in Mountain View without calling Moffett Field and/or the Palo Alto Airport first, right?
FAA's public education website:

"Contact the airport or control tower before flying within five miles of an airport."

Hey, NAS Moffett, you read the permissible altitude backwards: "Fly no higher than 400 feet and remain below any surrounding obstacles when possible."
