NorfolkSouthern, I hope you are right. I truly do. As much as us regular folks have done things that could be considered "stupid" (me included). So have the folks that are "in charge". The "knee Jerk" phenomenon is, I'm sure, something all of us have seen in the past in one form or another. If the cell phone hero down the street sees you buzzing the local landmark and makes a few calls. Wham "knee jerk" regulation. Enforceable or not. Again, I don't think it would take a camera strapped the the aircraft for this to happen. You could just simply be buzzing the landmark for the fun of it. Not that you would. Point is that regulation seems to be the first answer to a perceived problem these days. My hope is that the FAA will leave regulation and enforcement to the CBO. I guess we will see.
