The limits are higher altitude and faster speed then you've ever been. If the Concorde was around you would see it firsthand. Weapons would be worthless against first world defences at airliner height and speed. Gps receivers shut down on weather balloons regularly, it's a known issue

The limits are real, encoded in public law. I don't understand how you could possibly disagree with me on this point

Ignore the comment above, obviously ignorance :) Thanks for explaining.

It's okay, I was wrong about what the limits are too. They've been increased a lot
