It is partly ironic, partly what would one would expect but suddenly drones are making news in a mundane way--they've gone from incredible mystery to mild annoyance in our daily lives if the stories are accurate.

Yosemite Looks To Ban Drones By Relying On An Absurd Legal Arggument
Yosemite National Park released a statement yesterday claiming that drone use is illegal in the park. However, the regulation they cited doesn’t speak to the use of drones or any other model aircraft for that matter.

the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Drones) are prohibited within park boundaries due to regulations outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Specifically, the use of drones within the park boundaries is illegal under all circumstances. Thirty Six CFR 2.17(a)(3) states, “delivering or retrieving a person or object by parachute, helicopter, or other airborne means, except in emergencies involving public safety or serious property loss, or pursuant to the terms and conditions of a permit” is illegal. This applies to drones of all shapes and sizes.
