[NSRCA-discussion] Be Vigilant

[Anthony Cornacchione]

Unfortunate indeed. Despite press releases, I believe all that people will remember a week from now is that the FBI caught a guy who was going to use an RC plane to blow stuff up. I think the AMA could've done better preventing the misinformation that's out there now by contacting the media yesterday, and making statement and answering questions last night via the affiliate stations (ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC) in Indianapolis.  I'll be watching tonight to see if the AMA's statement today is even mentioned once they get through reporting on Michael Jackson, tainted fruit, and the collapse of the RedSox.

The media grabs for the sensational but wont focus on whether or not the models are capable of carrying any kind of payload they where talking about.  If those jets are turbines then they would be severely limit by the amount of fuel they carry and any additional payload(explosives,gps, etc.)
