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

2.04K 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?

Most commercial drones require line of sight control, so you need to be pretty close to use them. Most people don’t feel like getting sued by the NFL/PGA and spending some time in jail just to interrupt a game.
