Abstract: IoT devices, especially drones on which we focus here, have demonstrated during the COVID-19 crisis that they have the real potential to actual be now, and not in an uncertain more or less distant future, of a real huge help. From basic surveillance of urban or outdoor areas to deliveries of medical supplies, from spaying different disinfectant materials to remotely checking body temperatures, the drones showed that they could be much more than flimsy toys or paparazzi tools. The usage scenarios and real-live deployments have shown that the drones have a potential that undoubtedly will be tapped in the future for solving more and more issues. In the same time, we must not overlook the arguable concerns related to the possibility of using these devices for spying, controlling and other malevolent approaches.
