    A simple solution would be to block certain radio frequencies around sensitive locations

    That might stop Jason and Wayne. They would just start playing with their green lasers.

    If you really want to put a frozen turkey in front of a jet engine, you would have anticipated that. Devices can be programmed too.

    We can be sure that comprehensive threat assessment has been done. Unk-unks notwithstanding, of course...

    Frozen pigs, from an old-fashioned cannon, would be a completely different kettle of fish.

    A real sign of the times? Hope they caught whoever the idiot thought it would be a good idea to fly a drone anywhere near Heathrow.

    Should drones be registered and licenses held?

    How many birds crash into airliners as they are landing everyday?

    Birds are not suicidal, and take-off is probably much more dangerous...

    For a second I thought it was going to be a military drone like UAV MQ-1 Predator. Imagine the headlines if the plane crashed into one of them and blown up.
