Counter-Terrorism
Think our hobby is not under any direct, immediate threat?
This afternoon, I returned to my desk to find a voicemail on my cell phone from a member of the NY State Police "Counter Terrorism Unit". He wanted to ask me the usual questions, like how big, how much weight could they carry, could they be used to deliver a chemical or biological weapon... Yikes, scary stuff. Answer wrong, and I could be responsible for getting R/C banned, or at least seriously regulated in NY State.
When I returned the call, I gave him my DVP's phone number, then gave Dave Mathewson a call to give him a heads-up.
Dave advised me that in these situations, you should refer the person to Jay Mealy at AMA HQ. For future reference, his number is (765) 287-1256 x270.
