I've heard about it on the french radio some hours ago ! Very odd :) But why not ! If it's not too expensive but... if there is nobody at home, will it land it in the chimney ? :lol:

Very neat idea and the wave of the future probably. Wow, I'll bet that will get the USPS in a tizzy, lol. I imagine there are still lots of problems/kinks to be worked out with this sytem yet though.

I have to admit it does sound quite interesting, though I can imagine there being a lot of paranoid people complaining that this is just a government spying operation. :lol:

Or hunters shooting the down. :wow_luigi:

I'm sure there would be regulations against people shooting at them with guns. I'd imagine that punishment would be equivalent to shooting at a UPS truck.

Many things to think about with this new expected method of delivery. Such as the thoughts mentioned above but also other things that could or might interrupt the flow of delivery, etc., such as the weather in a certain area or some other such accident that may happen to prevent it from arriving at it's correct destination. Will be interesting to see how they expect to address all these issues that could arise.
