Aside from being illegal, what keeps people from flying drones into major events?

2.10K views

Illegal or not, people do things they shouldn’t. I’m surprised we’ve never seen a drone interfering at the Super Bowl or buzzing a golfer this weekend at Augusta. Seems like they could fly in from a long way away, zip out and dodge any police and even land far away if piloted from a moving car. Almost impossible to catch mid flight. So why hasn’t some nefarious individual done this yet? Transponder type identification on those things?

Aside from it being illegal? Well it’s incredibly dangerous, and even if you didn’t get punished simply for doing it, you could be punished for any damage or disruption you caused. That risk alone would be enough incentive not to.

Drones are also expensive, and having yours damaged/shot down/lost/broken because you operated it in an unsafe or annoying way isn’t good.
