Seems they already have enough Beta testers, but I did send an email to volunteer if they need more.
FAA is trying to make it easier to know the rules of where / when you can fly using a smartphone app that you can check status updates based on location.

Here is the link to their site:

Thanks, but no thanks. Government has shown that they can't be trusted to protect the data they've been given (IRS and medical records) . Don't need any more spam calls than I already receive.

Imixed on this. I agree with ag0n says, but then again it could be very beneficial to us. Only time will tell i guess.

When in doubt about flight restrictions, call this  1-800-WX-BRIEF number. It is the latest and greatest list of flight restricted areas. Totally run by the government. Just pick up the phone and call.
