In the Air? That’s a threat!

I seldom watch television news, but this evening I ended up doing so.  And what do mine eyes see?  A segment on how the FAA has banned all model airplanes within a 30 mile radius of the DNC for the duration.

Of course, no credible threat is mentioned.  And commercial airplanes can still take off and land.  But small pieces of plastic with about a quarter mile control range, those are a threat.

The highpoint of the segment was the statement from an FAA official to the effect of how we have to put up with some inconvenience for security.  Well, no we don’t.  But we’re willing to, because we are extremely poor at cost benefit analysis.
