badgerx16 Posted 20 December, 2018 Share Posted 20 December, 2018 If they do find the perpetrator, they shoul simply march him/her into the departure lounge and lock the doors. On a serious note, what a clear example to future terrorists of a low risk, high reward method for disruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 20 December, 2018 Share Posted 20 December, 2018 It’s amazing some loon with a drone could cause so much disruption, you would have thought there would be safeguards in place and methods to stop them. Even if they catch whoever did it what’s stopping it happening tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 21 December, 2018 Share Posted 21 December, 2018 I have mentioned before the danger of these things. A plane coming inot land is very vulnerable to these. Should they be sold under licence only?? Imagine them being flown into crowds with chemicals or fuel etc. A ccheap way of spreading terror for little cost.

ecuk268 Posted 21 December, 2018 Share Posted 21 December, 2018 "Failing" Grayling only took 20 hours to respond so I'm sure he'll have it all sorted soon. More seriously, after approx 150 incidents this year, you would think that some contingency planning would be in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d like to have more faith that old bill have skills https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/gatwick-drone-boss-man-arrested-13771951 You would think that Sussex Police have a modicum of common sense; Policeman knocks on somebody's front door - " Good evening sir, could you possibly account for your whereabouts on Wednesday evening ?" "Of course, I was working in Kent". "Can anybody verify that ?" "My Boss". Policeman then asks "And what about Friday ?" "Oh, I was driving my boss's daughter around, you can check that with him as well" "Ok, thanks. Oh, by the way, do you, perhaps own a drone ?" "No" "Ok sir, sorry for bothering you".

Batman Posted 29 December, 2018 Share Posted 29 December, 2018 (edited) now police are saying the 'drone' could actually be theirs This is after they arrested people for it Edit, it the suspected drone may have been a routine police drone used to look out for drones Police have played a blinder here.
