No kidding , you can search this out and you'll find it's true . Now , if THAT didn't get us grounded for good , do ya really think some dolt with a flying camera is gonna be seen as being worse than a radical bent on terrorism ?

Thankfully , I think your predictions of our demise are , somewhat premature , at best . We WILL be flying for the foreseeable future , It's just a matter of how many hoops are gonna have to be jumped to enjoy the "right" to fly a remote controlled model aircraft .....

If this is the one of which I'm thinking I rember reading the enrichment and it seemed to me that the FBI or whom ever really led this guy on and on and made it possible for him. I think they even bought the planes for him and supplied the fake C$ cause he wanted to usr grnades. He also was making IED detainers from cell phones.
I found this but when U try to go to the actual enactment it says page not found.
