Oh for crying out loud!!!!!
Pretty soon the only thing we will be able to do is sit at home and twiddle our thumbs. If the authorities regulated everything that they believed threatened the homelands, there would be absolutley nothing left !!(T.V., Radio, Guns, Radio Control Aircraft, etc etc etc). Hey, what about CARRIER PIDGEONS????

This is just typical of the U.S..they are now scared of their own shadow's. I guess the uncertainty and ill ease Americans face now is the result of the U.S government rapeing and piliaging and taking thing that don't belong to them has led to. I say build a big wall around themselves and let them get on with it...anyhow any American I have ever spoken to thinks the world is the U.S, sorry the U.S is the world!!! I don't wish to offend any Americans who may use this site but come on guy's radio control a threat?? I don't think so there are far more real and present dangers around us.......this just my Two pence worth...Colin.

This is just typical American style "reporting". Here is what happened:
It's a slow news day so what am I going to write about? Hhhmmm. I know, rc airplanes can kill you! Perfect. This is the sort of trash used by newscasts in the U.S. to get people to watch. The real unfortunate part is that it is the sort of low brow reporting that is starting to show up in Canada (like CITY pulse news). |

I suppose there going to take the darning needles away from granny next. When will these people (and I mean reports looking to make anything a story) learn that we have to go on and live our lives. Being afraid of everything and taking away freedom only serves the purpose of the very people who would seek to harm us. If they regulate RC planes then the terrorists win a small battle. Shame on the reports for this.

Not to belittle the subject, but this conversation has come up before (see RCU "Another Black Mark against the hobby").
There have been a number of people make threats with all sorts of things, some of which HAVE been used to kill quite effectively. To date they haven't outlawed much more serious threats like ...Cars, Trucks, full scale Airplanes or even hand guns (an American passion). What this is, is a slow news day subject with someone looking to grab some attention with the "Perception" of doing something to protect the US. So I'm not going to loose any sleep over this story; BUT let's keep an eye on it as some politician just might go the mile to get some weird legislation passed to outlaw us.

Oh those funny Americans! Keep the people in fear and they will consume! Now this will probably boost the sales of models even more.
American news makes me laugh! I think they literally try to scare people just for fun. Like bbbair said. Guns are an American passion.....lol People complain about how many US soldiers are dying in Iraq. But they are still killing each other faster then they are dying over there.

They recognize that AMA sanctioned clubs, and probably responsible retailers, will keep an eye on things. Given the apprentl level of paranoia in the states, I'm sure it'll suffice. |

The story they missed however is the fact that a model train could be fashioned, in the wrong hands, to deploy biological weapons out of the smoke stack on a predetermined coarse.
