In a much-anticipated announcement this morning, the FAA unveiled its drone registration requirements in anticipation of what many experts predict will be a brisk drone-buying holiday season.  As I’ve written about previously, the FAA – spurred by what it terms a dramatic increase in pilot reports of drones too close to manned aircraft – determined that registration was necessary to “increase accountability and education” of drone operators.  (The data used by the FAA has been debunked by a number of people, including most recently the Academy of Model Aeronautics.)
