I was flying a kite in the Seattle area once - using fishing line - and the police told me I had to bring it down.

'Course, I was at a park about 200 yards (laterally) from an airport and with fishing line, that kite went almost straight up about 300 yards.

It made sense, although I wasn't in the flight path. It gave the pilots something to look at, though.

Seattle is a wacky town. In Wisconsin (where I go to school), our "Seattle" is a town called Madison. UW Madison is a very liberal university and is a haven for all sorts of wacky peaceniks and tree-huggers.
