Since drones were used to blow up the Saudi oil fields yesterday, and may cause a 5% reduction in oil production, I think anyone using drones around airports should be arrested. This is a terrorist action.
There are drones, and then there are drones. Small toys 6 inches in diameter are called drones. So is the RQ-4B Global Hawk with a 130.9-foot wingspan and everything in between.
I am in no way defending the idiots who planned to disrupt Heathrow, but comparing those drones with weapons-carrying military drones is not accurate.

One of those small drones ingested into an airplane engine would put 100+ passengers’ lives at risk. I think you could easily make that costuming.
Sry costuming should be comparison.
A threat to disrupt airline service should be treated the same whether the threat is uttered on an airplane, or from protester's homes. Serious fines and prison time.
