So that drone free perimeter will stop terrorists from flying drones around the airport area?

We shall see!

Yes, they demonstrated a device which puts an electronic cordon around a given area and drones who attempt to enter that cordon are brought down by that device.

If you are found in posession of drone within the perimeter (not only flying one) it is confiscated. It enables the utilization of frequency jamming, pinpointing the location of transmitting apparatus.

How many flights were disrupted before they got a handle on the situation? Do you realise how much this costs businesses and never mind the psychic costs to the individuals who may now miss Christmas with families. They have been told they will not receive compensation because of the type of action.

I am totally against the public owning drones for hobbies or anything. But these were reportedly industrial drones. So the people who had them had access and were able to procure them. This is a massive security transgression which should not happen if you have adequate controls in place.

Some experts have been warning about this for years and nothing is ever done until there is a problem. People who should listen don't listen and then they blame all and sundry instead of taking responsibility.

Apply that same approach to Brexit preparations and it will tell you exactly where we are at.

Hi

We have the technology to stop this.

Chris Grayling was warned, the Risk Assessments done, the Legislation prepared.

He put it on hold.

He is a disaster, same man responsible for the state of the railways and roads.

He is a supporter of May, so safe.

They still haven't caught the perpetrators. Apparently those arrested have been released without charge. How is it possible in this day and age where all our movements are tracked?

In the DT, this morning, the Police are saying that they are not convinced that there was any drone activity, at Gatwick, at all!

Because they are now not convinced there was a drone. All that waste and worry for nothing !
