Geese have actually taken down planes on various occasions, I don't see the FAA regulating herding techniques around airports. Wait, or do they? I'm not sure.

- TeMPOraL 11y agoThere are various means airports employ to get rid of stray birds. Unfortunately, most won't be effective against stray drones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_strike#Countermeasures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_strike#Countermeasures
- spike021 11y agoWouldn't this new boundary system have the same or similar kind of benefit as using those bird countermeasures, though?
- TeMPOraL 11y agoI think that's the point of it. It still doesn't solve the problem of cheap drones (i.e. those without GPS), though I'm not sure if they are an issue near airports.
