I tell you what I think.
We are a very advanced society, and when an "entity" gets extremely advanced it starts, somehow, missing the basics.
This is another example of missing one of the basics.
It is years that pilots have been expressing serious concerns around the danger of drones being in the wrong hands.
Nothing has been done until now.
We are all extremely lucky that "drones" have not been utilised by extreme organisations yet e.g. Daesh as the consequences of a clever and highly sophisticated drone attack are unimaginable.The disruptions at LGW are a minor event if compared to something much more serious like a drone terror attack. No need to provide examples of how deadly a terror related drone attack could be. The culprit is probably indirectly saving all of us from something much more sinister as from now on drones are on the various agencies' agendas as a priority, slightly late yes.
