Hobbyist or Terrorist?

If you like to build and fly model airplanes, be aware that purchasing supplies for your hobby might make you a terrorist suspect. From the South Florida Business Journal:

As part of its mission to fight terrorism, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security spin-off Businessafe has warned hobby shops that buying gyro systems with digital readouts for remote-control planes is a suspicious activity.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement in May launched Businessafe from its Tallahassee headquarters to prompt all businesses to alert police about patterns that could be indicators of terrorist activity. The program covers the entire state, but has a particular importance to South Florida, which has the state's largest concentration of residents and infrastructure like ports terrorists might target, said Scott McAllister, FDLE's assistant special agent in charge of domestic security.

Oh, yeah. I feel safe.
