I didn't know that, as I had only read the Washington Post story, which only mentioned lawn delivery:

If Bezos did actually mention tossing through windows, this makes it even more preposterous. The only reason I can think he would mention something so unlikely is to deter people like me from labeling his copters as rich persons's toys invading the airspace of everyone else in major metropolitan areas.

Would you for instance, commute an extra 5-50 miles a day, just so you could have drone delivery?
Since I'm against it, no. No one else will just for that one factor, but it would go into the mix where the affluent choose between a Park Avenue apartment and a Westchester County McMansion.

Do you get a package an hour or even one a day that you must absolutely have now?
Not even one in my lifetime.
