FAA: Making it up because fuck you

The FAA banned drones doing rescue missions. The drones have saved 300 people. FAA can cite no law or reg regarding the ban because they suck at their job.

The FAA is one of the most obnoxious Fed agencies around – arguably worse than the ATF, because they have the ability to completely ruin anyone in the industry that challenges them, and this has bred a nasty “we can do whatever we want” attitude. Using the over-arching mantra of “aviation safety” they can do almost anything without serious resistance from the court system, mostly because the court system has no freaking idea what the issues are about (sorta like guns, only worse).

That said, the drone folks are doing some seriously stupid things out there (did everyone see the drone that clobbered the runner in AU?), which is going to make it harder to portray themselves as legit (kinda like that twit who painted the barrel nut of his AK pistol orange reflects on all of us gun owners). They are also well over the legal line on many of the radio devices they’re using – which is going to eventually bite them as well.

Drone use will fall under the “You have to catch me first” policy of the US public (citation: unpublished policies of the US public) for quite some time into the foreseeable future, much like shooting potato guns, amateur rocketry and playing in the woods, not to mention most weekend activities of rednecks and other fun loving ne’er-do-wells.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
