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.

Well you are certainly entitled to your opinion but I think you will find
it to be a most unique one.

Not at all, matter of fact, alot of modelers agree, and almost all non modelers agree, RC flight is dangerous, now more so then ever, and needs regs to protect its survival, and to protect it from being used as a weapon by middle east religous extremists.

Id rather see a comprehensive regulation set to protect both our hobby, and the public, then to see some one abuse our hobby as a weapon and, and have all of us banned on sight. Its inevitable, I'm just concerned with the outcome, guess some of you ostritch would rather keep your heads in the sand and think nothing could happen.
