I try not to dabble in politics on the InterWeb Hughes 500; however -
Interestingly everyone compares The FAA to EASA when it comes to flying in general. What people forget is the US is the most litigious society in the world. So if there was a problem with singles over cities the amount of suing that would have taken place in the US would have forced the FAA to change their laws if there was such a huge problem !
A bit like US gun laws then?
