If you read the rest of the FAA authorization bill, you will see that it *mandated* that the FAA make provisions for UAS to access the National Airspace - by 2015 at the latest, I believe. There is a lot of press being generated by this now and it will only increase. There are a lot of law enforcement agencies that want to get into UAS big-time and also lots of "freedom and privacy" advocates that are opposed to that.

Bottom line, expect to see *a lot* more press on UAS type activities. Make sure that anyone you talk to about that knows that's not "model aviation" that we do...
