How will Amazon ensure that children don't touch the rotors? This is lost fingers waiting to happen.

How will Amazon ensure that people don't steal drones?

Self-destruct protocols? I assume they'll have tracking devices at the very least. They have to be taking the fact that releasing drones into the public sphere will result in people fucking with their shit, at least a little and yet in the 60 Minutes interview, nothing.

Surely they will attach tracking devices to the drones. If the drones are damaged/stolen, they will know exactly where the event took place. Even if the GPS device is destroyed, it's still plausible to find where it was last active. I don't think Amazon would be lenient with the fines of a broken UAV.
