https://plus.google.com/+LaurenWeinstein/posts/gWSgYHySGVW Contrary to previous statements, the FAA now says that the vast majority of drone hobbyists *must* register online -- no paper option apparently available -- using the "super secure nothing can go wrong the government never lets its systems get hacked we want your credit card information even if you're registering for free during the first 30 days and by the way your name and address will become public information so we hope you don't have any enemies around or small children living at home" website. The exact language: "Owners must register their UAS online if it meets the following guidelines: Weighs more than 0.55 lbs. (250 g) and less than 55 lbs. (25 kg)." Seems like the FAA really is just making this up as they go along. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
