But, maybe a case for having some drones at each airport on 'QRA' and have some of the airside ground staff that do the bird scare duties cross-trained in drone operation, could easily keep one at the ready in the duty vehicles....??
I kept my P3 in a fitted flightcase. Smaller than an average suitcase, and could also hold several battery packs. One could be up in the air within seconds, especially if kept calibrated & stored with the props already screwed on. This whole mess could have been dealt with there and then. I'm amazed it's been allowed to carry on this long!

And now the effects are gaining publicity, expect copycat attacks...
