| Subject: Statist idiot: Gatwick airport delays: Liz Truss once suggested that barking dogs could deter drones Mon Dec 24, 2018 2:31 am | |
| ... Not even the army has been able to stop the annoying little flying machines - and it's about time that they consider other methods to bring them down. Luckily, for the passengers at Gatwick, chief secretary to the treasury, Liz Truss, has a great idea. Barking dogs. Yes, that's right, canines barking are a potential foe to machines with no emotions being controlled by people miles away. This isn't a new suggestion by any stretch of the imagination, as Truss first brought it up in December 2016 during a discussion in the Commons about drugs being smuggled into prisons.
At the time she said:
What we are doing is solutions such as installing extra netting.
I was at HMP Pentonville last week. They've now got patrol dogs who are barking, which helps deter drones.
