Use of drones should be regulated for security

CONTROLLING the use of drones involves more than just training, improving and setting a common competent standard for drone users, “Drone skills set to soar with tie-up” (The Star, April 20). Readers would have seen news reports of irresponsible, even dangerous, use of drones such as in airport space.

Hence, sound guidelines or laws must be drawn up by the authorities as increasing use of drones, whether for fun or commercial purposes, can quickly progress from nuisance (for example spying on neighbours) to dangerous (endangering air traffic).
