While I do recognize the quantity issue the crowd seems to know when to launch and when to stop.
And what about the one that landed behind Dean during ceremonies? I think most people know when to stop but it's pretty clear that there are some that don't.

I got into a conversation about this with other mentors on Saturday night after CMP and no one has a good solution but all of us know it is a problem.

No one wants to see FIRST send out laser armed drones to obliterate paper airplane throwing dissidents (well, maybe I do) but there does need to be a clear stopping point in the proceedings for teams to knock it off.
