    Thousands of drones fill the skies, raising fears of midair collisions

    By Rick Schmitt and Stuart Silverstein
    FairWarning
    The popularity of drones, particularly ones used for recreation, is booming in the U.S., with sales of drones weighing more than a half-pound expected to reach 1 million this year. At the same time, critics fear that chances of a catastrophic collision with a manned aircraft –- possibly even a commercial jetliner –- also are soaring.
