Default RE: The real reason for the FAA hassle

Pretty much true. As I have been saying since 2009, WE are not the main target. It is the multitude of private and civil agency users who want to be scooting around with a wide variety of sUAS that caused the FAA to take notice.

BTW - Dr. John Villasenor, who wrote the article in the LA Times as few weeks back, has had his eye opened to how our hobby is different from the true "drones"
