Man, did you hit that one on the nose! The 10 Commandments are the most important and beautiful thing ever written and hurt NO ONE! But waste their time on something that should be left alone and let homegrown terrorists operate with business as usual, I'm pissed!
Bush and Ashcroft are cowards? They're too busy harassing kids shooting off model rockets? Open borders and free-reign to eco-terrorists, I’ve had it with this joke of an administration.
Actually, rdmcdaniel is right on target. The FedGov, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that model rocket engines are horrible terrorist devices, and has put the BATF in charge of overseeing them with a large amount of onerous regulation. Now, Bush and Ashcroft didn't INSTITUTE that policy, but they are allowing it to continue (and perhaps expanding it).
In the meantime, what will probably happen is that terrorists will smuggle in a REAL anti-aircraft missile or two while our government manpower is wasting time on harassing an innocent kiddie hobby.

PRN Newswire ^ | 08. 7. 03
The Earth Liberation Front confirmed Friday that the pre-dawn attacks that targeted sport utility vehicles bore the hallmarks of the shadowy organization's members in the field.
Known as ELF, the group has claimed credit for similar vandalism and some major arson fires across the nation.
Hummers and other SUVs were painted with graffiti at three lots Friday while a two-alarm fire at a West Covina damaged dozens of vehicles and slowed rush-hour traffic to a crawl.
No one was injured, however the organization SUV Owners of America issued a statement denouncing what it called "eco-terrorism and harassment committed against SUVs and their owners."
Federal agents have joined the investigation to help track down the fire starters. [End]
