Lead, read my post. You repeated exactly what I said. The balloons by themselves, are not illegal. The "use" of them, would probably break any number of laws.

Didn't look too exact to me, but no.  Not any number of laws.  Most specifically the one I mentioned.  I think we all pretty much took it for granted that the balloons themselves weren't  illegal unless maybe there was a rider in number four font attached to the "Patriot" Act we all missed.

Do I have to go and check AGAIN?



Those are rather funny but I would never think about attaching those.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of criminal negligence, creating a public nuisance, reckless endangerment, etc. Although you're right, unless of course. the tailing balloon had a red flag or other warning device affixed so as to comply with the laws governing the length of obstructions attached to vehicles (are the laws the same in Kali?).
