With the recent arrest of a suspected terrorist here in Australia (see this article), will being an electronics hobbyist become a risky business? I've recently been researching guidance systems (compasses, gyros, 3D cosine matrix etc.) as I'm very interested in self guided drones. At a guess, I would say that I have all the electronics required to build a guided missile, in fact, anyone into fpv drones would have the same. This could very easily be mistaken by the authorities as terrorist research. I would hope that something more than research has to be in evidence before a prosecution could go ahead. Whilst this may seem a little paranoid, chemistry hobbyist have had this problem for many years and frequently get visited by police to check for drugs/explosives etc.
Am I over thinking this?
