Lets beat a soon to be dead horse.

First off, I'm a major anti goverment, anti regulation, anti middle east, anti religous person.
Lets look at this logicaly

1)Anyone who thinks a parkflyer can not deliver a major killing weapon is beyond stupid.
A killing weapon can be smaller then a milligram (biohazards) and as large as a nuclear power plant.

2) UAV should be BANNED in every way, shape, and form, INCLUDING government use!
The first dam thing governments will do is use this technology to spy on the people (universal ID, fingerprint scanning, retinal scanning, ect ect.
The first time I see some thing flying taking pictures of me, or obviously doing evil deeds, I will shoot it out of the sky, we still have the right to carry guns in the USA and that will NEVER change without civil war. Matter of fact some police agencies in the midwest are testing and using UAV drones to spy on "criminals" "out in the desert" already, somebody better stop them....... all kinds of rights violations there far as I am concerned.

3) Terrorists did not cause 9-11 our government did, and even still those morons who couldn't fly a trainer plane, could still easily buy the ability to get a UAV up and doing a 1 time flight of death. A ten year old with enough money could do it.

4) Model flight is in danger, and its because of the middle east and there physcotic beliefs, namely religion.
I fully expect more regs to follow soon and frankly im supprised they have not already. RC flight is the PERFECT tool for terror.

5) If done right new regs will protect our ability to continue our RC hobby. If 1 terrorist plot is caught, or executed using RC flight our hobby will end basicaly right there. The world governments will come down on it with hellish might, count on it. If regs are put into place BEFORE some one "tries" to use RC flight as a terror weapon, it will probably get stopped and we won't be affected to much if at all.


I am ALL ABOUT our rights in the USA and the government staying WAY out of peoples lives but, alas, this time there is alot of danger.
I am FULLY in favor of proacting the government and calling for the closure of this forum and ANY AND ALL OPEN discussions of UAV's anywhere, without clearance.
I love the idea of UAV the tech is cool and looks like hella fun, but for once reason wins and this is simply foolishly dangerous at BEST, and frighteningly deadly at worst.

The future holds many cool things, and unfortunetly alot of those cool things are VERY dangerous in the "Wrong" hands. Technology is exploding all over, and our ability to manipulate things from afar is growing exponentialy, but we must use good judgement, reason, logic, and safety when developing and using this vast new power of micro-electricity.

Don't be fools people, we need clear headed logical thinkers to protect our hobby before its yanked out from under us by some dirtbag religous fruitcake.
