The other problem IMHO is that we are not well positioned politically on this issue...Democrats could see more regulation and control over people's lives as a good thing, Republicans could see privacy protection (gotten allot of press from the media relative to drones with cameras) as a good thing, and all will be attuned to the safety arguments that the regulators will make. To exacerbate the issue, the average American could probably care less as our hobby is not widespread (from a practice or understanding perspective).

Quite a conundrum IMHO
