Charles Schumer has just recently proposed legislation to congress that would restrict the use of drones within two miles of an airport or above 500 feet. Schumer explained his concern that an unmanned drone could easily get sucked into the engine of a jet-aircraft, and cause a catastrophe. Schumer wants to restrict drones usage in these areas, by a software method called geo-fencing. This method would incorporate software into all drones that would render them useless in the suggested restricted airspace.
