UK: Gatwick airport: Drone detectors now deployable across Britain, minister says

British security minister Ben Wallace said Monday the govt can now deploy drone detection systems nationwide, after days of device sightings caused chaos at Gatwick Airport and criticism of the govt response. The airport was forced to close its only runway repeatedly last Wednesday through Friday due to numerous reports of drones, impacting nearly 140,000 passengers and leading to the deployment of soldiers. But he warned: "The huge proliferation of such devices, coupled with the challenges of deploying military counter measures into a civilian environment, means there are no easy solutions." Meanwhile police have received around 30 pieces of "useful information" in the last 24 hours, a police-backed charity said Monday. <br/>
