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

2.17K 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?

I have also been curious about this. I have a DJI that limits me where I can fly, but I have thought about using the “fake gps” app on my phone to trick the drone.

I may try it next time I am at the airport. Not actually fly it anywhere but see if it will takeoff in the restricted area.
