your point about RC cars vs RC planes is a good one. Why ban RC planes, when a rental truck was driven into the cellar of the WTC. You can't go banning automobiles can you?
why doesn't everyone lock themselves in their basement for crying out loud. so no one gets hurt. too many restrictions on too many things. what's the point.
I hate stupid/ignorant people. There is going to be risk always. This society has become to obesessed with risk management. This is what happens when we live in a sue-friendly, overtly sensitive, touchy feeling, and politically correct society. RC planes can't do much damage and using them as a weapon would require lots of coordination. Terrorists will find other ways to kill people.
