If the FAA is taking safety as seriously as they say what are they doing about this?

There is a gray area between what this "thing" purports to be, and what it actually is. As is usual with issues of this kind, it tends to be a black and white understanding for some, and a more fluid definition for others.
At no time however, has there been anything even close to what you alluded to earlier and you know that, it was either hyperbole or a disingenuous attempt to make something up out of thin air. C'mon now....at the end of the day we both know this is primarily about accountability and enforcement, not prevention. Right?

Nowhere in any of the FAA guidelines did I see UA or sUA. The FAA does use the term drone to reference sUAS and UAS thanks to the media hyping all such systems as drones.

I agree on the other part, there are definitely some things our govt does that might not make sense to everyone, don't seem to be helpful, and are costly too. I think most of what it does is well intentioned and meaningful, there will always be some downside to it though. Tought time to be in politics, no matter what side of the table one sits at.

Sure, one would hope that would happen, but that's completely different that what you said earlier. Just like signing up and taking a drivers licecense test might stop someone from drunk driving, perhaps someone who registers takes time to read all the info and will then decide, man, I will not fly over 400 feet by the airport. But if they do, and are caught, now they can hopefully be held responsible.

It won't stop flyaways? Just another lie by FAA I thought they said it would..
That's a far cry from saying "I said this whole thing is supposed to be about safety, what's wrong with that". Nothing, except that's not what you said. There was no lie, and the FAA didn't say what you claimed you "thought" they said.
C'mon...lets move forward. What they said, didn't say, might have said, means very little at this point. It all sucks, but it's all something we have to deal with. Once registered, we'll all keep doing what we have always done, hopefully, and that's fly and have fun. Sure, horrible things may happen in the future, good things may too...it is what it is. (god I hate that term)

Sure (not my videos but I'll get some when I visit later in the new year) - plus a friend who lives in Moscow and flies RC (Helicopters) and says Phantoms are regularly seen around the Kremlin. They won't stop you from flying but if you crash and cause damage or injury you have to face the consequences. (firing squad? )

This one looks like a commercial operator but I doubt commercial operators would get permission to fly like this anyway in the USA or Australia.

If you can't see something funny about that, well....you're just missing out. There are multiple levels of hilarity there, but if ya can't see it, I can't 'splain it to ya.
it does nothing whatsoever to demonstrate the fruitlessness of registration, or are you under the impression that registration was supposed to stop flyaways?

And, no, it won't stop fly aways. It also will not stop idiots from flying them away.
These kinds of incidents are what will result in all r/c flying being banned.
With that, I withdraw from these drone discussions. They have all become peeing matches with most people refusing to read and accept that these rules are in effect or just do not understand what they read.
