UK minister claims drones are no longer a threat

Britain’s security minister Ben Wallace has claimed that the country should no longer be worried about the threat of drones days after disruptions at London’s Gatwick airport which exposed a massive security loophole in the country’s aviation system. Wallace said Tuesday that security forces were now able to detect drones anywhere across the UK through equipment which he did not specify. The announcement came just 3 days after a paralysis at Gatwick, where around 1,000 of flights were cancelled due to recurrent sighting of drones near or above the runway. Wallace also said that those who wanted to copycat the Gatwick drone-flying should expect the harshest of punishments. <br/>
