If I go to Radio Shack or some large toy store and buy a model airplane or a model rocket, aren't there federal regulations that stipulate the maximum altitude? I remember last year before the war the toy planes were an issue.
Is it legal for me as a private citizen to launch a high-altitude balloon? What if I live near an airport? If not, how can they sell those things?
Not to get into the "freedom vs security" issue, but "there should be a law against that".
