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?

You cite two pretty mundane examples – annoying and distracting events at sporting events. My mind goes to a darker place – why has no one used a drone to pilot an explosive device into a crowd of protesters, or make some political statement by detonating it in Times Square on New Year’s Eve? I’m honestly surprised this hasn’t happened yet.
