Using the argument that they are not aircraft and that they are therefore NOT under FAA jurisdiction, some UAV operators are asserting their rights to fly their aircraft in Class B airspace.

Hmmm .... a drone in class B airspace? Wait until one of them gets sucked through an engine or leaves a long lasting impression in the nose of a jet. I am always shocked by what stupid things people do just because they can and because there are no rules saying you can't do it. The same bunch of guys then cries wolf for 'government over-reach' or 'over-regulation', if everything gets regulated. Common sense seems to have vanished!
