it's only a matter of time before one of these glorified toys causes real injury/death. they should be required to be registered to the owner who must provide govt. issued ID and carry broadcasters that identify the owner. yes, that would be very expensive, bu cheaper than even a single human life.

Originally posted by TeeVee View Postfollow it how? it's not as if there are squadrons of counter-drones standing by to pursue rogue drones, though that may be where this heads: Drone Force!
And don't laugh. There are 'drone forces' in place in a number of countries. They're using everything from net-firing bazookas to destructive lasers. Oh, and eagles.

now some will call me nuts, and that's ok (eh, they may be right anyway), but i'd love to see a law passed that mandates 50, yes fifty, years in prison at hard labor for violating drone laws in restricted airspace. then, throw everything, and i mean everything, into finding a prosecuting some unlucky schmuck and lock his/her ass up for 50 years. make the entire process VERY public and keep it that way so that all the other idiots (i bet some are from this site), keep their toys away from people/cargo carrying aircraft.

Way back when the Great Train Robbery thieves were given large sentences around 30 years for stealing circa £2m. This equates to around £50m today.
The little wankstain who flew the drone has cost the country and the airlines far more millions than that. Then we have to add the financial cost incurred by the delayed passengers and their lost holidays.
Yes, 30 years sounds like a good figure to me.If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

Originally posted by BBCAuthorities finally regained control over the airfield after the Army deployed unidentified military technology to guard the area, reassuring the airport that it was safe enough to fly from about 06:00 on Friday. The Israeli-developed Drone Dome system, which can detect drones using radar, is believed to have been used. It can jam communications between the drone and its operator, enabling authorities to take control of and land the device.
