    As for the secrecy, that is illegal per US Code TITLE 5 > PART I > CHAPTER 5 > SUBCHAPTER II > § 552b.

    The FAA has already been investigated and reprimanded by Congress for the secrecy before in 2001!

    Flipping heck, I am truly getting bored of changing the date on the sUAS News countdown.

    Maybe its time to break some rules and get whats actually going to happen out into the public domain.

    Funnily enough http://www.suasnews.com/2011/05/5591/dude-where%E2%80%99s-my-advocacy/ follow us on twitter or keep looking at the RSS feed on the right of this page and lets see what happens.

    You can't be happy in the USA at becoming the worlds followers in sUAS.

    So when would this actually push the law making out to and what was the exact date they stated, I can't get that .PDF to open.
