The city's model plane enthusiasts are ready to fight a proposed City Council ban on drones, which is being floated (no pun intended) by Councilmember Daniel Garodnick due to "privacy and safety issues." The Academy of Model Aeronautics is calling on Garodnick to Think Of The Children, though, writing in a letter that, "A child flying a toy helicopter in his or her own backyard would be considered a criminal under your bill." This raises questions, though, such as: do kids still do that? Also: what backyard? [NYDN; previously]
