"Remote Identification" is a the FAA's latest NPRM, driven mostly by the desire to integrate commercial unmanned aircraft into the national airspace system. The problem is, it's going to severely curtail radio control aviation activities by hobbyists, historically a very safe and rules driven usergroup. The wildcard in all of this has been small "drone" operators that operate outside of formal club structures, beyond line-of-sight using long range video and control systems, and with no regard for manned aircraft traffic and mid-air accident risks.
There's a protest planned at the FAA headquarters in DC on Feb 29th. More info can be found at the organizer's website.
