To the public, and I suspect the authorities, they will not be able to differentiate between what we do, and what the village idiot does.

Perfectly said. The problem for us yanks; the one special interest organization that is supposed to be protecting model airplane enthusiast is embracing these village idiots like a long lost rich uncle, dressing them up for the family photo. You bet the authorities and public will not be able to tell us apart. When said village idiot finally stuffs his FPV gee-wiz machine into an inbound jumbo the hammer won’t be selective.
