Reality this would be no different from the US government coming out and regulating baseball by whether you are paid.
Regulation should really be addressed by safety concerns, ie weight. Be hit by small model plane is no different then being hit by golf ball or baseball or puck.

Another angle that has been missed and the FAA is really screwing up is having different rules for the same action. Somehow if you get paid for flying a model aircraft it is now against the rules. Good example brought up on RC forums.
Examples would be:
1) Sponsored pilots.
2) Competitions with cash prizes.
3) You get paid to build RC aircraft.
4) Pilots that get paid to come fly at events.

No the law says nothing about line of sight. Your full of shit.
No the AMA(Academy of Model Aeronautics) is also going against the rule. Another case of a slashdot reader who didn't actually read the article.
"The FAA interpretive rule effectively negates Congress' intentions, and is contrary to the law. Section 336(a) of the Public Law states that, 'the Federal Aviation Administration may not promulgate any rule or regulation regarding a model aircraft', this interpretive rule specifically addresses model aircraft, effectively establishes rules that model aircraft were not previously subject to and is in direct violation of the congressional mandate in the 2012 FAA reauthorization bill."

    "AMA cannot support this rule." said AMA Executive Director Dave Mathewson. "It is at best ill-conceived and at worst intentionally punitive and retaliatory. The Academy strongly requests the FAA reconsider this action. The AMA will pursue all available recourse to dissuade enactment of this rule."

Wrong AMA, Academy of Model Aeronautics http://www.modelaircraft.org/ . Its in the article.

The FAA should delegate or allow delegating to the AMA. IE if you are flying at AMA field , the rule doesn't apply. Or that you must have insurance.

Um after the healthcare.gov disaster you want a government organization to provide your local internet. I will pass on the bright idea.

MBA1: We should fire all the workers, look how much money we would save. MBA2: Brilliant!!

Actually the electric chair was brought about because it was thought be more humane than hanging. So hanging is out.

When I worked in the IT in my work study program, shared computers would be re-imaged often. We would usally re-image 300-400 computers at time. Often it was just some professor wanting certain program, it was just easier and safer just to wipe the machines. Malware was big problem at the time, sasser hit all of are computers, that sucked.

Your story really doesn't fit. The biker in your story was still failing to yield the right-of-way. So even if the Idaho law was applied, the biker would have still been in the wrong.

The AMA also provides insurance if you are following all there rules, it is part of the membership.

Thanks I now know how hedgehog piss tastes like, wondering how you ending up drinking hedgehog piss .

My 9mm quickly ended an attempted car-jacking/robbery, while I was driving back from school late at night. The nice individuals attempted to box me in at an intersection. I was in the right lane, they pulled into my lane so I couldn't move. The driver jumped out with some kind of hand gun, unfortunately for them they picked an combat infantry veteran. By the time he jumped out, I was already aimed center mass. The driver quickly jumped back into his car and drove off as fast as he could. No shots fired, no injuries. My ROE is always that the barrel has to be pointed at me.

  I don't carry everywhere. If I am in the "nice" part of town, the 9mm is locked, loaded and my finger is the safety.
