I understand what you are saying about this bill as it exists today. I completely agree that it would be foolish to make it illegal to take a picture from a commercial flight coming or going from any airport in NH. Think about small plane or balloon charter flights. Are we going to tell tourists not to take pictures? That issue alone should kill this thing.
That said I think the availability of drones and what they can allow people to do, whether those people are private individuals, government, or corporate, is worth having a serious discussion about. Perhaps we don't fully understand the issue. If that is the case, then certainly we should not attempt to regulate what we do not understand. But if this bill serves to bring the topic out for serious discussion and increase awareness then it will have been worthwhile. Hopefully this will be one of those times when rational thought prevails.
