The goal of the terrorist is to terrorize... not necessarily repeatable/reliable missions... We take off our shoes at airports now right???
I think they(Terrorists) have figured out on a plane or a train.. the passengers will Kick their Arse if they tried anything nowadays...

But Pats point is... why give technology away here in these forums and make it easier for the bad guys to do what they want ... particularly to Cause harm with what WE do for fun!

All it will take is one semi-successful terrorist attempt with a model plane and we will all be getting fingerprinted for our Lic to fly models.

I think we can still converse about UAV's and the industry without giving away national secrets or violating ITAR requirements. A rule of thumb is, if a particular company has the info on their public websites, it is OK to discuss....
Though I believe Pat to have the concern of THIS forum being the hub where all this technology can be put together... sort of one-stop-shopping for the Hodji's!!!

I am in the UAV business, I want to leverage these pages to promote the industry and even find employable candidates... but I don't want to help a seemingly LARGE number of people who want to kill all the infidels either... tuff balance!

I am kind of a first ammendment guy, but maybe there should be some moderation consulting with people involved in Intelligence to help limit what is revealed....?????
