This is more likely to lead to making them ubiquitous; people will demand a camera network linked to a database of valid faces of US nationals.

Probably? Would be easier to develop drones to rip off the solar panels.

A national ban is unlikely to happen. Big companies like Flock are incredibly experienced at paying off enough of the Congress to stop legislation they don't like. You're better off trying to focus your efforts on your local municipalities and the state.
