Farmer, you don't need to pity yourself. You must be a pretty good RCer, as you state in your profile that you have been flying for 4 years and consider yourself an "Advanced Pilot." Hey, IMO, Fantastic.

However there are a vast number of RC airplane people that have long experience in Dealing with Government, be it work, social, or otherwise. We have learned to look behind every door, and under the bed because what government says has almost nothing to do with TRUTH. Besides the government's objectives change and sometimes drastically change each 2 years.
No one can today accurately predict what government will do tomorrow, and frequently what they did yesterday they have already forgotten. Those of us that have witnessed a number of wars (mine started with WW II) and have lived under 13 Presidents have every right to be suspicious. If you don't believe it just think of our plight today, when people without any consideration of what can happen with government put us into some 2 years ago.

I prefer stopping everything that can place me under the control of any additional government control. Actually I prefer that anything other than defense of the nation be removed from government control. In this case, Tarasdad has it all figured out.
