They also got away from the AMA and sec 336 of 400 within 5 miles of an airport because they recommend you contact the air traffic controller. Again at this time it is not a Law. That is what the FAA said on the video but I believe it will be after the current open comment period and then it will be pass as sec 107. I am pretty sure that is the new ruling that they intent to put into the regulations that would be law. I am pretty sure that is what said by the FAA yesterday on the video.

So in your opinion there is nothing the FAA can do if someone caught not following the FAA guidelines I don't know you may be right but I have to wonder.
