With Stuttgart airport on high alert yesterday after being scoped out by know group, it does make you wonder if this is masking a much more serious threat.

Cant understand how they still cant find the drone owner?
Life isn't an episode of CSI Gatwick. It's quite difficult to track one person controlling something so small over a vast area surrounded by one of the most heavily populated areas in the country.
Sorry to disappoint you , was just offering input , I’ll pm you my address you can put your warrior keyboard down then ,

Whoa there Leslie
A sudden change in the amount of engines you have during a landing or takeoff situation.. Yeah what could possibly go wrong...I think its funny for some reason.
The calamity over this is stupid, it all does not make sense. A few drones in airspace can take a airport down. Not having it at all something else is going on.
Planes can land on one engine even if a drone took one out which is unlikely.
Its all scaremongering, happy xmas and fly safe.
Plus you have possible damage to wings, flaps, hydraulics and heaven forbid fuel tanks at higher speeds.

They will find him there’s probably lots of data to crunch and he will get a knock on the door give it a couple of weeks and I bet he will be on the front page .
, bet dji will be helping out , more than likely data from a iPad or phone will place him there

so, in this world of people posting 2760 pictures of their McDonald's, why is there not one single picture of a drone? surely someone in the area/terminal would have gone out to see all the fuss and tried to get a pic for their 15mins of internet fame? it probably would have been the usual cluster of 8 blurry pixels, but at the moment (quick scan of various news pages) i'm seeing nowt??

He’s just gone to get some kip and charge up his batteries. Something tells me the drone will be back..

Hopefully we’ll just have to register everything/get a licence and swear on the bible to never fly near an airport..
I sold mine a while back could see this coming, they have some great use but as per the minority has ruined it for the majority. £1000 for a drone course is half the reason for stupidity,
I think they need to be licensed like aircraft numbers id ect but I can see a blanket ban coming ,

There are plenty of good arguments for licensing drones. Providing it's sensibly done it shouldn't be an issue for hobbyists and professionals.
I saw on the news late last night that the Police had said they had dozens of reports from the general public and had a number of lines of enquiry.
If the perpetrator(s) was stupid enough to be launching from a populated place, hopefully one of those reports comes good, but I can’t help but feel that people have reported to the police anyone they saw with a drone yesterday.
It’s going to have vilified them and I’d certainly be concerned while somebody remains at large.
Rather hope so at this stage. Came round to the idea of getting a refund for my flights yesterday and now that's my preferred option.
Ship mounted lasers have actually been around for some time now. They were kept secret.
