Attack of the Drones

Thought I'd post a thread about this as it's currently on-going and apparently a growing problem for airports around the world. Anyway Gatwick Airport, London's second airport, is currently shut due to some tosser flying a drone in it's airspace for the past 12 or so hours. There's lots of complaints from passengers saying the authorities should be doing something about it but I'm at a loss as to what they can do.

Here's a link to the coverage (mainly chosen as the headline of "police still trying to catch drones after flights cancelled – live" brings to mind a load of cops chasing after the drone with butterfly nets):
