They do mention John Taylor in the video that was just released. I agree with the OP as that was my first reaction upon reading it.

I also agree this isn't the end of the issue but I did register, put the numbers on my flying machines where they will remain.

To those who got their knickers in a knot defying the registration, get over it. The Feds already know everything about you so if having registered keeps the FAA at bay while I enjoy my hobby it is worth it. Abandoning your hobby and sitting if front of the TV in a snit to prove defiance only affects you. Go fly rather than melting your brain.
