This article by the Low institute -- https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-in...eld-extremists -- got me to thinking that the use of drones by anarchists and terrorists is going to escalate. Sadly, it's just a matter of time before a significant incident occurs at an airport or sporting stadium - so I hope that the various authorities are spurred on by this Gatwick nuisance to formulate proper plans to better monitor and mitigate these risks in the future.
