Yongsan Garrison Bans the Use of Drones On Base
If you are going to Yongsan Garrison you better leave your drones at home:
The U.S. military stationed in South Korea has introduced stricter security rules banning all civilian drones and remote controlled model aircrafts from flying over the main military base in Yongsan in central Seoul, a South Korean military source said Thursday.
The U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) issued a total ban in late December on all unmanned aerial vehicles or radio-controlled model aircrafts equipped with a camera or other types of information-gathering devices on the entire premise of the Yongsan Garrison. “The flight ban involves all computer- or radio-controlled civilian drones and toy model aircrafts, except for military drones authorized by the U.S. military,” a military source in Seoul said.
According to the source, those who own radio-controlled model aircrafts can fly only in extremely limited zones after registering them with the U.S. military for permits. Under the stricter rules, only those at age 13 or older are allowed to fly model aircrafts in authorized zones to a maximum altitude of 100 feet above ground. The USFK said violators would be “dealt sternly” in accordance with the military and civilian legal procedures. [Donga Ilbo via reader tip]

When they outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns!
When they outlaw bongs, only outlaws will have bongs!
When they outlaw drones, only outlaws will have drones!
What, what? You say the U.S. and many other governments have drones? And they are not classified as “outlaws?” Huh. Weird.
What about Google Earth? How about people renting high-rise apartments near the base who also own telephoto lenses ? Will there be a floor limit on how high security cameras can be mounted? When will it all end?
And what happens when a property owner mounts cameras to keep an eye on the police?

Today, Yongsan Garrison banned the use of drones on base.
In related news, most of the workers are now camped outside the main gate hoping the policy will be reversed so they can get back to their jobs.
Peons, gophers, biitches, and right hand men, were unaffected by the rule change.
It takes a good guy with drone to stop a bad guy with a drone.
“It takes a good guy with drone to stop a bad guy with a drone.”
Not if the bad guy has a better drone and he gets the drop on you.
The key is a good guy with a STEALTH drone so the bad guy with a drone is always unsure of what he may be facing.
Or TWO drones!
