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?

A lot of drones have built in systems to avoid flying in areas like geo fences.

There also the consequences like I remember there was drone activity around I think it was dubai Airport, they apparently called in the cavalry and shot it down. No idea if they caught the culprit but if they didn’t then at the very least they lose a really expensive drone, if they get caught then who knows what charges they’ll face.
