Extreme right for US, extreme left for Europe/South America, extreme sense of propriety for Asia, and extreme whatever-the-hell-I-want for most of Afrika nowadays.

Simple fact is that extreme nutters have abused the potential lethal side effects of misapplication of technology for their own ends since before written history. Shouting "Think of the Children" and making an implied call for a ban will not change this and stop said nutters from doing whatever they want.

Especially with the devastating wildfires of the past year in mind, its intended purpose makes sense. For your imagined purposes......not so much.... For that there are other tried and tested methods that are less traceable. Using a lfying flamethrower would be, well, silly....
