Airport not immune from drones
Trudeau airport is no more immune from drones than any other. There are new laws about drone operation, but who will enforce them? And will rogue drone operators give a damn?
What I don’t understand is the motivation for using drones, or laser devices, to interfere with airport operations. Presumably these people are not holding the airport to ransom, so is the kick really that you could provoke a serious accident?

DJI Spark is only 250g. Many birds weigh more than that.

Drones are the perfect little weapon for small informal gangs. Inexpensive, easy to make yourself, and you don’t have to take credit for the aftermath, nor do you need to be near the target. What will technology invent for gangs next?

Well there are many weapons like Molotov cocktails, knifes, guns, which no matter how regulated are still easily accessible.
A drone can be easily made by buying cheap parts from China and assembling it using YouTube instructions.
Forcing good citizens to register does nothing to stop that.
It’s like asking people to register kitchen knifes.
