All they need to do is find a suspected terroist with a model airplane in his house or appartment and we could be in for a rough time.
OK - But if we keep with this logic then everyone that owns a car can be considered a terrorist with a potential weapon. Vehicles are being used daily to kill in Iraq... [

In the hands of an expert a butter knife or cork screw is a lethal weapon - at best a RC AC with a GPS is a poor weapons delivery system too little payload and not accurate enough.
IF someone wanted to use such a system they would be better off to use a full sized AC - not a 3-7 lb toy that might have a range of 30 kms with a 1-2 lb cargo.
Reality check guys - it's NOT EFFICIENT or PRACTICAL. It's just fear mongering on the part of someone desperate to grab a headline...
I totally agree with BBBair however the bureaucratic idiots will form their own opinion and possibly create the perception of the planes being a threat due to their ignorance
