If you live near a sports stadium and own a remote control toy, you might have committed a federal crime without even realizing it.
After 9/11, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) banned all flights below 3,000 feet within 3 nautical miles (around 3.5 land miles) of certain sports games. Since then, Congress has made the rule permanent, and the FAA expanded the restriction to all "unmanned aerial systems," including drones and model planes.
