Good observation. Now we know not to believe any citation of U.S. code 2.3.4 that some two-bit LEO tries to scare us with. I wish the plane-watcher in the original story had said to the airport cop, "Prove it." True, it would have resulted in a huge hassle and possibly a long battle in court, but if there's no law they can't run plane-watchers off public property except by abuse of power and lies.
