Subject: RE: BS: Amazon Prime Air drones
Considering that I live in a security building (you have to either have a key to get in, or buzz somebody in the building to let you in), I'm not sure how drone delivery is going to work.

As it is now, if I order something on Amazon, it arrives a couple of days later by United Parcel Service. The UPS man buzzes my apartment. I pick up the intercom to see who's at the door, then press a button to release the lock and let him in. He then delivers the package to my apartment door, we chat for a few minutes, and he's on his way to his next delivery.

I'm not sure how a drone is going to hover outside and press the necessary button, open the door (it doesn't swing open automatically) then find my apartment and knock on the door.

Hmm. . . .

I have my doubts.
