drones

So I see that the folks in Paris are weirded out because drones are overhead, and the authorities are helpless. These things are radio-controlled, I think? Surely there is some way to jam them?

1. But illegal

We remind and warn consumers that it is a violation of federal law to use a cell jammer or similar devices that intentionally block, jam, or interfere with authorized radio communications such as cell phones, police radar, GPS, and Wi-Fi.

3. the drones are illegal in those areas

so I am thinking TPTB could do something. According to the articles I read tptb say they are unable to stop them but are concerned they are a security risk and are soliciting input on how to stop them. This is in France anyway, I'm sure France doesn't care a wit about US rules.

My last post on the subject since I see it violates the rules. Although people post about dying and terrible diseases, so those seem inappropriate.

5. I know little about frequency jammers, but perhaps drones could be required to use

certain frequencies that could be blocked without interfering with other communications.
