There are no regs you can put in place to stop a terrorist from useing a model
plane and that includes banning them altogether.
Not even remotely true, we can make it ALOT tougher then it is now.
Right now anyone can get and do anything RC, with money and a phone.
Yes its going to change our hobby, but its probably for the best, in the future of technology, having unrestricted RC flight is not a good or safe idea.
Best thing would be for AMA to be REQUIRED to fly ANYTHING, and AMA must do a background check yearly on renewal. That would probably be enough, and some regs on where to fly, and with states and counties being forced to support and provide appropriete flying sites.
So if anyone is flying at a non flying site, instant suspision, maybe even police, if there at the flying site, easy to go check there AMA/background.
ALL FPV and UAV activity should be banned except for space exploration activities done only by the government, no private UAV/FPV/VR and NO government UAV spying period.
