Is it safe enough to use Drones?

They have been so many reports from Aircraft crews, security officials and others say they’ve seen many small, unmanned and unmarked aerial vehicles where they do not belong: over airports, 12,000 feet aloft near a JetBlue airliner, above the White House grounds. Pilots have reported 700 close encounters with drones to the Federal Aviation Administration so far this year, already tripling last year’s total. The increasing number of stories about small flying objects that could mangle a jet engine intake, disrupt a propeller or smash a windshield is still scary.
     The intervene of government seems necessary at this points. As an solution to inform danger of drones, public education  is crucial, particularly because the government has had a hard time enforcing its rules on amateur drone flights. Also, the government should require that drones sold to amateurs come with a lot more safeguards, and it is partly because amateurs are more likely to disrupt privacy of other people or to damage public property.
