To answer Q1- Although I dont believe I would change any laws at this point for fear of opening pandora's box, I wouldn't be surprised(or disappointed) to see changes in the future requiring proof of some kind of minor education of basic FCC rules and regulations.
My point is, safety is the concern here. And although not illegal, I would question how responsible it is for a major manufacturer to produce in large volume a product that will no doubt make its way into the hands of someone that will without malice inadverantly cause at the very least for someone to lose a plane or worse.
If there was a law requiring this fcc card, then it would be the retailer who would police it by asking to see it prior to purchasing 72mhz transmitters. I know this doen't cover all the bases, but the LHS is where joe public will be purchacing these rtf models. I don't have the solution to the problem, but recognizing it is a start.
maybe AMA should spend some money on a program related this or supply pamphlets to hobby shops instead of sending me tons of junk mail.
