Austin Haughwout, welcome to the 'No-Fly List'
In case you missed it, this "flying gun" video was making the rounds last week:
The video was reportedly recorded by 18-year-old Austin Haughwout of Clinton, Connecticut, who told ABC News he is pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering, and that the drone represents "one of my many engineering related activities."
It turns out that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now investigating the video, no doubt to see if they can nail Austin and any wanna-be's to the hanger door.
Peter Sachs, an attorney and drone advocate, welcomes the FAA investigation into the armed drone.
“There are countless ways that drones can be useful. Using one as a remote-controlled weapon is not one of them, and I question the judgment of anyone who would attempt to do so.”
Good luck with your "questioning the judgment" of a teenager there Peter.
