Awful decision. My prediction: this will open the way to greater and greater drone use, including in parks and wildlife reserves. Get ready for it, cause it won't be pretty.

The key phrase here is "closed sets". It is unlikely you would even get near there for your own purposes both for accidental interference while a shoot (not rifle) is occurring and also for keeping feature plots, etc., confidential.

I doubt the Department of Interior will let them in. No way. I would be very surprised. They better not!

I can see "Dog fight Drones" piloted by rogue operators chasing down and shooting down other drones in aerial combat. Drone Wars soon at a theater near you!!!

Long live the Red Baron!!!
