This story caught my eye: Quadcopter drone 'deliberately flown at passenger airliner' over Essex
Stand-off attacks are a favorite of militaries. Drones have been a favorite of Obama, but there may be blowback here too. Just as the Iraqis used IEDs--cell phone triggered artillery charges buried under a roadway--the notion of flying a quad-copter drone near a commercial aircraft is now part of the mix, which means counter-measures will have to be taken straight away. For example jam standard quad-copter signals to vector away from an aircraft. Detect signals to identify non-standard frequencies and jam them.
We live in interesting times.
