In case there was any doubt in the minds of the "Napoleon" minded bureaucrats

Excerpt from link below:

Congress has provided the FAA with exclusive authority to regulate aviation safety, the efficiency of the navigable airspace, and air traffic control, among other things. State and local governments are not permitted to regulate any type of aircraft operations, such as flight paths or altitudes, or the navigable airspace.

However, these powers are not the same as regulation of aircraft landing sites, which involves local control of land and zoning. Laws traditionally related to state and local police power – including land use, zoning, privacy, and law enforcement operations – generally are not subject to federal regulation.

So there
 
So the FAA now has the power to turn all quad enthusiasts into criminals over night with the stroke of a pen. If that happens we'll have to go rogue, get into an area, fly and the record your video, then get out quick lol.

My point in making this post was to reaffirm that the local or state government does not have jurisdiction over your flights by quads. So keep flying! Just watch where you land and takeoff.
