RE: R/C a terrorist weapon
Regarding regs, uavs, and definations. Currently there are extreme changes taking place with the laws regarding uav operations...worldwide. Europe and Australia are well into developing regs for the use of uav's in civilian airspace, and we are close behind. In the next two to four years the use of unmanned units will be commplace in much of the American airspace, without being restricted to special use areas. At the moment one of the international definitions of a uav is a remotely piloted air vehicle with a weight in excess of 25 kilograms. Most of the regulatory development work is taking place behind closed doors and through special Congressional hearings. Some of the more sophisticated small uav's are indeed being used for profit in U.S airspace. This from direct, continuous personal involvement and operation of same.
I'm not going to pose questions or opinions. What's noted above simply "is" and not thoughtful fancy. I'll let ya'll fight you're way through it.
