"......... According to a survey carried out by the British Airline Pilots Assosociation (BALPA), more than half (52%) of the British public think that those who endanger an aircraft while flying a drone should be given a prison sentence........."
News organizations with an agenda always throw this nugget out there. 52% of "any" public don't have the slightest clue about most "anything" going on around them! But, yes, the idiots flying in this manner need to be found and prosecuted. Nothing is going to change until someone is made an example of.
