I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Washington Examiner, they
have been rather shrill over this favorite hobby horse for some
while. Glider/aircraft collisions are hardly the worst thing to worry
about.

I personally am much more concerned about UAVs that are being used
more and more along our borders and likely soon elsewhere. We've had
a few lost and out of control in the past year or two and it's only a
matter of time before we have a more serious accident than we've had
already.
