I'd love to buy one of these, but I can't get over the potential legal repercussions of running one, especially within ones own home.

In college, I was terrified of even attempting to research drone hacking due to the federal restrictions on tampering with radio signals, especially those outside the range for Wifi 2.4gz. They even still applied to researchers with approval, from what I understood, and it was just considered a gray area.

Can someone please explain how others are so accepting of the risk? Am I missing something? Sorry if it has been addressed and I'm just late to the game.
