Default Well, it HAD to Happen

That Drone !
Something that has the ability to create havoc on an industrial scale, yet no sign of any control whatsoever.
Even the clowns no longer in control

Coming to an airport near you soon. Drones are relatively cheap and the world is full of idiots.

Two things come to mind------
Either this drone attack is a much more sophisticated affair than initially thought with the ability to bypass jamming technology, possibly by preplanning and independant control or,----
The security services are hopelessly incompetant and complacent and just were not prepared.
Im inclined to think there is more to this than at first thought.

Reminds me of the - apocryphal ? - tale from WW1 :
DR rider was progressing South from the Channel, dodging the flak & bullets.
Gunnery Officer on one of His Majesty's capital ships was giving the orders: "up a bit," "up a bit"
Think that's why DR trousers were coloured BROWN
