There are already plenty of laws in place about endangering aircraft that can be applied with up to 5 years imprisonment for offenders. Such laws have already been used to prosecute loonies with laser pens.

Larger drones already have GPS fencing in their software that prevents them being used within 1 mile of an airport, though there are groups such as the pilots union that want this distance increased to 5 miles as is common on the continent.

Real problem is the smaller "toy" drones that have no restrictions in their software and can easilly fly out of range of their controller.
