I know where this came from, or why I should say- some guys were busted a few months back for planning to fly an r/c plane packed with explosives into some government building or other.
Sad thing is this knee-jerk reaction is all too common- every time someone miss-uses an item or uses it to commit a crime, the bored housewives all start a campaign to have the item banned and the government caves in.
What if I use a real plane or car to crash into a building, will the government ban them too?
