I take that back, I now think it's too late. In an interview this morning, FAA Administrator Huerta "warned operators should not fly their aircraft higher than 400 feet, stay away from airports and “maintain line of sight.”

Here's the link to CNN article on increased regulation :

The fact that this is hitting the news so heavily (Google "Huerta" and "drones"), and that he appeared on one of the Sunday shows, is no accident. The administration is getting their policy changes out into the media in advance of the formal announcement.
No FPV, 400' limit, not close to airports...it's not "if" these come, but only "when."
