Florida flies to moon, but we can't fly drones?

The State You're In desk would like to express its indignation that Florida, home of Cape Canaveral, home of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, home of more than a few significant military bases, has somehow been left off the list of states approved as a federal testing ground for drones. Maybe someday when we can't walk out of the house for fear of being buzzed by the Amazon delivery drone we'll regret the day we got huffy that Florida lost to Alaska (!) in this contest for air supremacy, but right now we just feel like a bridesmaid at the wedding of today and tomorrow.
