I haven't fully read the artical but what if people began exploiting drones to transport illegal drugs? Some people in Mainland China use mini drones to transport illegal drugs into Hong Kong. Or what if drones accidentally drops the package and lands on someone's head? It won't end pretty....

I admit that it is a great idea for the firms but I am not sure if it will have any negative externality to the society.
