Amazon drones?

I'm an Amazon junkie.. there, I've gotten through the first step by actually admitting it. About 85% of all I have purchased for Christmas has been through Amazon.com.  I almost expect to click on the site and have someone say, "Morning Sandy, What can we do for you today?" I have been a bit unhappy the last few years as my packages had generally been delivered by UPS... this year more and more are being dropped at our local post office and I have to go lug them to the car...one of the things I disliked about brick and mortar shopping... the lugging!  BUT.....let the heavens open above..maybe in the very near future, an "octocopter" can deliver my packages.  I know the weight limit will be about 5# and I may not be within the 10 mile warehouse range but it's a pretty cool concept.   BUT (again), there may be a very big issue with octocopters flying around my house.  My family really likes to shoot things....especially things flying through the air. On the up side, they are completely safe with me. I welcome flying objects, winged or otherwise, and I can't hit a stationery target at 4 feet.  I decided to do a little research on the subject and found out that these flying delivery devices are somewhat protected.....Take a look:

Amazon delivery drones will be escorted by drones equipped with Drone Operated People Eliminator (D.O.P.E.) missiles in case of delivery disruption. The D.O.P.E. will be operated by the Manually Operated Remote Operation Network (M.O.R.O.N.)

Any customer whose delivery is not received due to failure on the part of the M.O.R.O.N. should contact the Independent Delivery Insurance Operational Team (I.D.I.O.T.) and file a claim to let the I.D.I.O.T. know that the M.O.R.O.N. didn't use the D.O.P.E. to protect your package.

 

I'm realizing that these drones have been totally  (yeah right) vetted in the electronic community so I eagerly await the arrival of one on my doorstep.
