Are you allowed to fly remote controlled helicopter toys near the White House?

Asked by filmfann (52515points) July 30th, 2011

Is there some way the Secret Service prevents this? Can they tell where the control device is? Is there a law making this illegal?

I have to smile. Because of the “I hope I am not giving anyone an idea”.

I think it’s prohibited but well I don’t know if it’s true. I’d better not talk about it. I’ll just continue smiling.

Be careful, big brother is watching. I’ll contact you in private to direct you to a secret coded special-ops web-site for more info.

Lets give ChazMaz a call and find out! He’ll be the guinea pig, I’m almost sure of it.

I think what happens is if you fly a remote control helicopter near enough the White House, a Secret Service guy will activate and launch a remote control real life Apache helicopter to shoo you off.
