Hi, I known that a few of you are in model rocketry and thought you might like to read this. 

* Explosive Regulations Threaten to Kill Model Rocketry
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/rocketry_security_020325.html

A provision deep within the regulations of the new Homeland Security Act is threatening to shut
down the popular hobby of model rocketry because the propellant used to make the rocket's
solid-fueled motors is now classified as explosive material.

This 9/11 sure does trickle down.
