I agree there will be some regrettable tragedy and some knee jerk follow-up legislation. Never mind the 10's of thousands of us who fly responsibly. We will be the ones to pay for their stupidity.
After Sept 11 those of us who fly full scale light aircraft also needed to prove we weren't a threat. It seeemed TFR's popped up over every family reunion and power plant. All while us pilot's said "my little 1200lb Cub is barely fast or heavy enough to damage myself." Imagine my surprise when I saw AOPA and other aviation groups loudly proclaiming the need for bans on our little "drones". Seems they don't quite recognize hypocrisy.
BTW I cancelled my 15 year membership in AOPA because of their stance.

I just know something is around the corner, that will hurt us rc enthusiasts.
