...after I observed two expert chaps flying one near a private stately castle grounds I sometimes frequent. Well controlled, powerful, could climb to a good height and hover still.. until you've seen a proper drone working...I for one had no idea how good they were...

((Edit to ad: Looks like others are taking the mini drone threat very seriously...
In May 2015, MBDA Deutschland deployed a laser effector to acquire, track, and defeat a free-flying mini drone, the first time such technology has been used to this effect. The mini drone was destroyed within seconds of the start of the test which was carried out at MBDA Deutschland’s testing area in Schrobenhausen. The drone in question manoeuvred in the target area at a range of about 500m with the test proving the laser effector's capability to combat realistic targets with precision, speed and safety.

Imagine a scenario of multiple terrorist drones attacking Wimbulton all at the same time, flying about six feet off the ground... several across the Park, one along Newstead way, one along Bathgate road, one or more along Church road, a couple along Somerset road...
There is other tech available if the drones are under direct human guidence:

It's not as though these kind of drones are complex devices that only megacorps can build. Mine's a few pieces of plastic with a camera, some motors, a battery, and an ARM chip, knocked together by some company in China.
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
I read a novel recently where drones were employed in an assault on the Eifel Tower.
They were used for reconnaissance and payload delivery. For instance metal detectors could be evaded with delivery "over the fence".
It was in a novel but you can easily imagine other uses.
D2D ACM anyone?

NL, no the novel used the quadrocopters but same principle with the bad guys being ever more inventive than officials working inside the box.
Make it a law that all drones have inbuilt trackers or destructors. Fly over the perimeter and it destructs, though I like the idea of a laser fence.
