Threat to R/C Boating?

[Fluid]

Will the Feds decide that R/C radios are a National Security threat? Will a National R/C Operator License Database be required? You decide.


Authorities investigating the Boston Marathon bombing have concluded that the bombs mostly likely relied on components from remote-controlled toy cars for the detonation mechanism, according to a bulletin from the FBI and Homeland Security Department....Fox News has learned that the bulletin, sent Monday night to update local, state and federal law enforcement, is based on new forensic analysis of the bombs and reads in part, “each device likely incorporated an electric fusing system using components from remote controlled toy cars, such as a transmitter and receiver pair operating at 2.4 GigaHertz, and an electric speed controller used as a switch mechanism and sub-c rechargeable battery packs as power source."

Back Ground check???

[T.S.Davis]

Sure why not. Guns kill people without an evil person to pull the trigger. Why not blame the equipment evil people use to make bombs?

Background checks for pressure cookers and nails is a good idea too.

Thank goodness it wasn't a lipo pack. Those Damn NICD's!

[Rumdog]

Yeah, they're currently gathering agents for the transmitter collection program.. Lol.

Don't laugh, the UN has already passed some kind of B$ resolution(s) regarding the shipment of LiPo's, that's why everybodies out of them; can't get them here from China.

Got that info from these guys... http://www.zeusbatteryproducts.com/index.html - while looking for small LiPo packs for my Mini-V. - There's are already approved by the UN, Interpol, CIA, FBI, HS and everybody else's a$$(s) manufacture's have to kiss to get anything done.

Owner of LHS confirmed it when I brought up the subject.

Feel free to do your own homework...

Don't laugh Tim, it could very well happen as ominous as that may sound.

Remember the white house and congress are both full of left wing kook's looking for any excuse they can find to pry into your personal life, here's proof... http://wallstcheatsheet.com/stocks/h...s.html/?ref=YF -- that story is only 7-days old.

Also saw something in a recent news story about the gov wanting to read everybodies e-mails without a warrant or reason!

USA my butt, try the USSA - United Socialist States of America.

Wow... Politics.. I bet Thur gunna take yer guns too!

[tlandauer]

It's possible that someday some politicians will propose that all Tx and Rx be serialized and buyers have to fill out a form. I seem to remember after 9/11 , for a time there was certain restriction on RC radio shipment to certain parts of the world. I could be wrong though, but I remember everytime I bought a radio from Tower Hobbies I saw a notice when the shopping cart page popped out.

I really hate when those left wing Liberals try to intrude into my personal and private life. I wish they would stop telling me who I can marry and what a woman can and can't do with their own body. Damn Liberals! Stay out of my bedroom and stop taking my god given freedoms away.

I didn't bring up the background check thing, just threw in my 2-C. Your still young, when I was young we really were free, but that was a long ago in a very different America than the one we live in now.

Guns?? I didn't say anything about them, but since you brought it up...
kinda hard to take something I don't have, however I am a firm believer / supporter of the 2nd Ad. And I did not serve my country only to let some Marxist a$$***e in the white house take away our freedoms.

This sums it up. I wish all people would realize, people die, accidents happen, medical science is not exact, there will always be someone willing to take the easy way, things worth having are worth working for, ect....... Our societies are trying to protect us to the point where the societies will become sterile. Yea take the law abiding liberties away and make sure the criminals do the same. (Not going to happen but good try).
