Remember that Dennis Hopper, cult classic movie: "Riders of the Storm"?


(the rest of the movie is on Youtube, if you haven't seen it)

slightly more realistic, there is some good legal news about personal drones;
FAA can’t regulate small RC aircraft as “drones,” judge rules
NTSB judge strikes down $10,000 fine against man for unlicensed "commercial use."

There is LPFM which allows broadcasts in the FM band as long as it's not too powerful. Dreaming further, how about a towed array to launch smoke signals, dot-matrix style!

Swarms of drones can also spell out messages, with correct formations.

Any other ideas?
