What is the cost to protect some? To protect all? Much more than $20k-$50 per drone.

That's a business cost for Amazon, isn't it? Why should the rest of us pay to protect one of the richest companies in the world?

Telecommunications companies started putting infrastructure under ground in the 1900's and that practice while expensive up front was more common after WWII for safety reasons. Amazon may wish to consider putting data-centers under ground not only for safety but also long term cost reduction in the middle east as it is cooler under ground.
