[NSRCA-discussion] FAA Registration begins December 21

[W Anthony Abdullah]

# 4 sounds scary! Something about "immediate and targeted education activities" makes me a little uneasy. A knock at the door at 3:00AM and a nightstick to the head can be pretty educational. Not suggesting they would do that, it just doesn't feel right.

Is there any “official” information about what registration hopes to accomplish (as opposed to the “they’re coming to get us” theories)?  Even if it was a page of “Know before you fly” info during the registration process, I would be more supportive.  But all I can speculate on is that it is to “Hope we find that one little part that has the registration number on it”.  We’ve all seen RC mid-airs and crashes, and know that often full recovery of parts is very difficult.  If something bad happens, the odds seem pretty low that even if there is a number, it will be found and traced to the owner, even if there is one!
