• Resumen

  • Here, Baraniuk discusses how technology to ground drones is taking off. Last week, someone landed a drone on the roof of the Japanese prime minister's office in central Tokyo. It carried a container of sand with traces of non-harmful radioactive isotopes Caesium 134 and 137. A 40-year-old man admitted to the stunt, saying it was a protest over Japan's nuclear power program. Modern drones are cheap and easy to fly. They're small enough to evade traditional surveillance and many worry that this will make them attractive to terrorists and other criminals. However, it may now be possible to clip their wings.
