Nobody can be trusted these days.. Say I loose my drone, or someone walks up and starts a conversation while its sitting next to me, they see the number, they write it down, later they buy a drone, put my number on it, fly it. It crashes, the person that finds it, turns it in to proper people like cops, FAA, etc, they look at number, contact me, and assume I did the damage to other persons property. Yea I may be paranoid, but my cell phone number is good enougth. Besides, there are allot of people out there that dont even put there phone number, much less register it. And if the proper person comes up to me and asks me why my FAA number is not on it, I will explain to them the reason why, and Im sure they will agree. This is a new tested regulation that im sure the people that made it up arent sure how well it will work, expecially when protecting one from "number theft".
That's statement is beyond being just paranoid, I'm sorry that's borderline delusional and at best just laughable. Is that really how you think? Someone may glance over at your drone in conversation, have the forethought of memorize a ten digit number and use it illegitimately, really? Do you not put your name on your mail box either, to protect yourself from someone impersonating you as the homeowner. And if someone of authority did ask way? And you tell them it's for self protection of the number itself, their not going to agree with that reasoning, believe me. If you own a car, it has a plate on it, right? What if someone that may not like you writes down that plate number, than calls the police and reports the same make and model car as driving erratically, or worse it was involved in that hit and run accident, and has your plate number as proof it was your car. See it's never ending to think that way, you'll never be at ease and be looking over your shoulder all the time. |
