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.
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.
