Its just a matter of time before someone decided to build a cargo UAV to send drugs into the US. If they can spend a couple of million building home made subs why not UAVs.

All U have to do is shoot them down. Makes U wonder what all those guards with guns are getting paid for.

I think we could start by not giving the criminal element any ideas, like telling them they can afford to build cargo uav's!! In my experience, these people are not the smartest and need inspiration and knowledge, so just casualy blurting out hundreds of hours of your own research and that of others to some half-wit that posts a question like " how to start with drones " or " I need flying fifty miles " is tantamount to helping them.

Well I'm not sure how safe the prisoners would be with the guards shooting at a moving target.:).One solution would be to use a frequency jammer interrupting the signal to the GPS , that will bring down the UAV fast.

I say build force fields around the prison and set phasers to stun.

Cessna have been building drug cargo aircraft for years.

Why make it more complex.

Right Im off out to train the Canada geese harder. Amazing what I can get them to lift.
