Default Don't Pick on R/C Airplanes

Frankly the War on Terrorism will yield the same results as the War on Drugs. Zero! Trouble with a standard R/C plane is you need to be close and on top of things. Dont think their would be much "get away" time.
Damage can be done with Estes rockets too. If a person wants to do some damage, they are going to find away. Was it a 3 mile no fly zone around the Super Bowl. By the time ATC would start scratching their heads, its too late.
I think it was more like 15 miles, but with a fast enough plane you may be able to get through the fighter patrols. The only thing the war on terrorism will do is take away our freedoms.
