Give the drone pilots a few nights in jail with the dregs of society. That ought to cure them.
"...up to five years in prison..." It's in the article.
They need to market this system at all msjor airports here in the US..
The U.S./FAA have more control over drones versus the Brits.
Drone laws in the UK are actually more strict than in the US. The problem is that some people simply don't comply with the regulations regardless of which side of the pond they are on.
Um, no they don’t and I know because I work at a major US airport and know a thing or two about the subject!
What makes you think the US airports don't have something similar? ;-)
