That's how I feel about my existence living in Britain.
As an example, one of our major airports is shut this morning due to drones. Yes, drones over a huge airport. Been essentially 12 hours and we can't stop them (at least 20,000 people delayed). Can't shoot them down due to stray bullets and huge population centres.
The solution being actively considered to safely remove the drones is trained Dutch Eagles.
OK, this is how they'll catch them or stop it (and probably catch them at a later date when they're talking at the pub and jail them for five years.)
edit: statement soon to be made in House of Lord by the Minister of Transport, that how you know a prank has gone to far. And, this will usher in global mandatory registration of personal drones and restricted airspaces (the UK was always going to first to have this happen.)
