The gov't is full of jerks, I could name a few dozen cops that arrest people on bogus charges. The judges think those cops are jerks too. As for "more laws" regarding RC, there aren't a heck of alot to begin with. Mostly FCC guidlines and FAA no fly zones. I honestly think most of these scares are the AMA's way of justifying itself. Like a few thousand hobbyists is going to change the mind of anything the FAA or FCC wants to do. More likely is pressure from the RC manufacturers and top distributors.
