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

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?

It’s like robbing Fort Knox. Getting in isn’t so difficult. Getting out intact with the prize is another story. Recall that line of sight is required between pilot and vehicle. Whoever takes vid won’t be able to do anything with it. FAA will be there to find the owner.
