What do experts say

Experts say that such incidents near airports may be destructive. The ‘Federal Aviation Administration’ (FAA) has taken several steps to reduce such dangers. Registration and radio transponder have been made mandatory for drones weighing more than 250 grams. Also, airports have a ban on flying drones, although it is not so easy to follow.

Strict steps have been taken

The FAA is testing jamming, microwave and laser techniques to identify and neutralize drones near airports. Two people have recently been arrested in Boston for drone related incidents. The operator is convicted for hitting a drone plane in California. Experts believe that such strict action can reduce the dangers of drone in future. (AP)
