I'm okay with it and I fly (as a passenger) every week. These UAVs are all piloted by someone on the ground. For these vehicles I say, "What's the difference between having a pilot in the plane or on the ground?"

Which turns into a complacency issue. Afterall, if you're not at risk then you will naturally relax (happens all the time in simulators, unless your job is on the line).

And those pilots on the ground don't even need to be on US soil. You could farm it out to Indian drone-pilots!
