RE: Man is Arrested for attempted Attack!
This is all very unsettling. I hope they do not start looking at regulating this hobby. If they outlaw or severely regulate R/C then "only the bad guys will have RC". Almost all of us with perhaps a handful of exceptions - as was just demonstrated by the arrest, are law abiding citizen who simply want to enjoy the many great positive benetfits this hobby has to offer - not to mention the educational benefits to young and old alike. We "legitimate" R/C enthusiast far outnumber the few that have darker intentions and we should use that to our advantage to help police our hobby and raise suspicions if we see anything that does not seem right. The aforementioned posts by "newbies" who were requesting speed and payload info is a good example of this. I cannot remember, but I may have actually responded to one of these, but saw no replies posted. Perhaps the DHS should use us as their eyes and ears as oposed to simply over reacting and limiting the hobby.
