> Existing regulations already meet the former standard
The article implicitly makes this point, too.
> Steve Landells, from the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa), said it had been "only a matter of time before we had a drone strike". He called for greater enforcement of existing rules.

- jjoonathan 11y agoI'd say it explicitly makes the point too :-) > Flying a drone near an airport can already be punished with up to five years in prison, and rules also forbid taking them above 400ft (122m) or near buildings and crowds of people.
