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?

Saw a real world example of GPS blocking a drone from take off.

We were playing a village game of cricket on the weekend of the Royal Air Tattoo at Fairford. One of the guys asked if he could fly his drone to get an aerial shot of the pitch. The other team mentioned that we were in the no fly zone for the weekend. Guy tried anyway, drone just sat there.
