    More lies about drones to protect criminal activites of international governmental bodies, they simply can't handle the public being able to see what they do as well as they spy on the public. Journalists better band together and take these policy makers on or drones will be regulated like guns simply becuase they can take photos and can't easily be captured threatened or destroyed.

    Airliners are designed to withstand impacts with large birds such as Geese, I'm pretty sure that these civilian drones have far less mass and weight. There should probably be avoidance systems put in place in the drones and regulations to keep them away from airports and flight paths.

    How is this a huge threat? How many people are hurt or inconvenienced every year? In comparison how many people die in plane crashes?

    Ban all citizens from owning drones. This has to happen because they are too damn stupid to realize the hundreds of lives they put in danger.

    So if a simple drone got so close to crashing with an airplane, why do terrorists go to such difficult lengths of bringing the bomb through airport security, onto it when they could just target it during take off? Airports need air defense like the White House, just saying.

    Oh no! A tiny quadcopter almost nicked a 777! It could've made a tiny scratch in the 7000 series aerospace grade aluminum designed to keep a 500,000lb jet in the air and fly safely through mild storms and moderate turbulence!!! BAN THEM!!! ALL OF THEM!!

    Who in his right mind is gonna fly a drone near an airfield at these altitudes? Real dumb and dangerous.

    It's not rocket science, just legislate that drones can't fly within 1km of an airport.
    Drones are of no more danger to helicopters and plains that remote control cars are a danger to regular vehicles.
