The press needs to stop calling them drones and so do we.

Drone is like a media buzzword to instill fear and paranoia

When I hear the word drone, I picture an unmanned aircraft with missiles.

Adam could easily add "Drone" to the phpBB word filter list and replace it with something else if needed.

You guys know I just copied and pasted the title from Giz, right?

I'm with you all on the "drone" thing...

I'm afraid the genie is out of the bottle, so to speak, and we will be stuck with the term "drone" from now on when referencing a remotely piloted aircraft. It is just much simpler to say and more recognizable than most other but more accurate terms.
I wonder what they did with the pilot of the "unmanned aerial vehicle"? They forced him to land it supposedly, did they press charges? Confiscate his video or gear? Turn him over to the FAA? :|

For that to happen, we need to come up with an alternative word that's just as short and descriptive.
