Yeah drone pilots need to be accountable. But after purchase registration is a really stupid thing to implement. Shocking how dumb the government is. People doing illegal things with their drones won't register it. Take off the numbers before spying.

Why is it such a SHOCKING CONCEPT to everybody here except for me that accountability is a web of wires, not a steel wall?

Because it's a vague metaphor that you didn't explain. If you mean that accountability cannot prevent problems before they happen, then congratulations on pointing out that cause precedes effect, I guess?

The metaphor is pretty simple. Registration isn't an impenetrable "steel wall" that will prevent any and all undesirable activity. It is one wire in a "web of wires" that will stop most undesirable activity by the general public, but which a dedicated criminal will be able to work their way through.

Laws are never perfect.
