There is a lot fo work being done to get safer including things like adding a module to your RC airplane/rotory wing vehicle that reports it's location to ATC and any ohter aircraft in the area. To me that is overreach. But if that is the only way to stop the blatant disregard for other poples lives by the few who want to get their kicks out of flying near an airport, over a stadium full of people, or gett great pictures of thta forest fire then so be it. But expecting people to act reponsibly and think about other peoples' safety would obsolete the need for Darwin awards.
