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

2.09K 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?

Dji for example can share your location with local authorities if needed.

this way they will arrive before you even lift off

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.

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.

10 years ago this dude figured this out.

Not sure why it’s not in use now.
