Horrors ! The nation will fall if the copper lady loses her face ! ( Is that like the Ravens at the Tower of London or the monkeys on Gibraltar ? )

I have nothing more to say to you. Your personal entertainment and love for the idol of "GA" is more important than national icons. You aren't funny.

I will say this. If anybody can get in a private plane and zoom around national symbols at will and without restriction...then there is nothing there to stop a terrorist. And someday they will take advantage of that for multiple symbolic attacks. When that happens...no amount of lobbying will protect "GA" and it will be HEAVILY restricted from then on out no matter how much you dismiss the Statue of Liberty "losing its face" as nothing major. You will be laughing about the Statue of Liberty's face while permanently grounded.

I hope I am proven wrong.

"...then there is nothing there to stop a terrorist. "

EXACTLY my point ... without the installation of hundreds of automatically operated point defence weapons around the country there IS nothing to stop a terrorist, and your restrictions will do nothing to change that.
