- eastdakota 2y agoOh… drones are a really devious idea. You can imagine all sorts of political messages that someone may want to leverage an event like this to broadcast.
- tracerbulletx 2y agoFlying a drone over a major concert is liable to get you charged with terrorism somehow even if you're just trying to do a prank.
- bigiain 2y agoDoesn't need to be big enough to scare people that badly. You could sneak a heap of something like this into any big concert venue pretty easily: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004496779816.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004496779816.html open them up and switch out the visible light LEDs for modulated IR ones, add a tiny microcontroller to send pre programmed data. Get you and a dozen friends to launch them all at the same time...
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoI wouldn't be surprised if concerts have anti-drone countermeasures in place already, given safety concerns.
- throwup238 2y agoLike what? This isn’t a battlefield, the FCC isn’t going to let them do any jamming and they sure as hell aren’t putting up CIWS cannons all over the place.
- alexb_ 2y agoI've seen multiple NFL games be stopped in the middle because of one person flying a drone. They take this stuff extremely seriously - I wouldn't be surprised if the entire concert was put on hold until the drone was stopped. The people who have done this have served jail time and been hit with 6 figure fines.
