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?

One thing to remember is that drones don’t have that long of a flying time. Maybe half an hour at most, and that’s for a pretty expensive one (one that you don’t want the cops to take). Most toy ones will last for about 10 minutes. There is a limit of how much disruption you can cause in that amount of time, especially if you are launching from a safe distance away.
