I agree with Jim Casey...while the idea of the powder bombs and powder drops (similar to a fire drop) sounds cool, and to people within the hobby is most likely seen as totally benign, to those outside of the hobby it could appear to be something that it is not. We certantly don't want to put our hobby on the hot seat by doing things that people in our current paranoid of attack state of national being, could use against us and that could open the possibility up to the same type of problems being faced by the model rocket industry and hobby. All it takes is one overzelous news reporter and a congressman that wants to get his/her name in the paper to really deal our hobby a devistating blow. While it would be great to be able to say that there is no way it would ever happen, I think that would be naive and a mistake to assume such things in today's United States. These are just my thoughts and opinions so please take them as such. Personally, it eats me up inside to think that we even need to have this conversation and I would be the first to volunteer to try to help figure out logistics and such for completeing the bombs and powder drops but I just thing the timing of such activities is not right. I'll step off of my soapbox and let eveyone make their own decisions about what they think is right or wrong. Have a GREAT day and keep 'em flyin!!
