... if someone is flying dozens of drones around, there would have to be a credible reason, and there isn't. Saying "its the government" is the "reason" given for anything that does not have a reason.

As it happens, I work for an organization that develops and tests advanced drones for the military. It is done in a very controlled, disciplined and careful way. And there is no reason for it to be otherwise.

Especially since it is usually a classified activity, and you don't go out in public with your classified technology.
