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

2.05K 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?

In the UK a couple of years ago someone used drones to shut down Gatwick airport for a few hours ata a time for a week or two. Was one of many crises current.

*Norms* are what make people behave nicely even when there’s no law or social tsk-tsk-ers to stop them from acting out their base impulses. In a stable society, or in polite environments, relatively little enforcement is needed to keep people from acting like malicious a-holes.

Society at every scale functions both with the guidance of governance, law, enforcement, etc., as well as the prevalence of ethical norms. Arguably, norms are more essential to, and more effective in, the function of society than any amount of law. (This is believed to be true in problems like endemic corruption, and it is both de facto and de juris true in international law.)

Norms in society come from everyone’s cumulative individual morals; from the ethics taught by parents, schools, and leaders; from cultural sources like childhood fables, music, video games, or even polemic newspaper op-eds; and possibly most importantly the social behavior learned or conditioned from birth and among one’s closest social circles.

There’s a great video of someone flying a drone over one of those cosplay renaissance events.
Someone shot down the ‘evil spirit bird’ with a bow and arrow then they smashed it to shit with clubs.
