And what recourse would our loved ones have against the "pilots" employed by these "defence contractors" in the name of "national security" when their glorified model aircraft has a mid-air with one of us, a GA pilot or some long-hair skidding about in his para-glider? (sorry long-hairs)
No doubt the spinners would have us in government airspace, (bull) too high or low (crap) over or near some newly invented anti-terrorist establishment. (yeah, right, how remotely desert was this housing estate?)

This is all rubbish, folks, and we need to let people know, as aviators, that the reasons do not add up to the perceived threats.

Can anyone here imagine a motorised vehicle on the freeways being sold to us in a similar way? Would that be acceptable?

No. And duh!

Get the hell out of my sky, I can't trust someone I can't sue.
