[Travel] Drones spotted at LGW.

[Rugrat]

"It's obvious that drones should not be able to get anywhere near an airport before being taken down.
"But the Government has dithered and delayed on regulating drones. Once again, there is a lack of leadership from the Transport Secretary."

Quote from Labour Shadow Transport Secretary. One of the few times I've agreed with something the Labour Party has said.

Grayling is a wanchor, no doubt of that. But when did the 'Shadow Transport Secretary' raise this as an issue for debate in the Commons? I assume he referenced that too?

I wasnt meaning wifi I meant could they not make it law that drones could only operate on a different wave length that is at present not being used and set an idependant wave length just for the use of drones.

has the horse bolted, do you think?

 

[rogersix]

Shoot the things down, how can they be worried about stray bullets when they are shooting upwards.
Get the marksmen in and take them out.

ay?

Airports are really only the tip of the iceberg though. Sure, they may well have a solution but pretty well any public place (train stations, stadia, shopping centres) can be targeted. There has to be a more comprehensive solution though f**k knows how you could even begin to think that one through

simply ask BG

 

[rogersix]

To be expected back to your usual line. I know nothing about drones and was just suggesting a possible solution that those ITK can discuss.

you ought to email chris grayling, this is a case of national security

Just popped on here after landing at Glasgow airport, to proudly announce just how easy it was catching our flight from the North terminal at 3pm today. No delays, breezed straight through, only to read on here that it’s been closed again!! We’re flying back on Xmas eve - hopefully....

I am currently on my way back from Heathrow via Guildford to see a friend. On a train to Gatwick now after the news has just spread through the carriage. Really feel for everyone!

This is starting to feel like an early episode of Black Mirror
