USA to Disable Drones Near Airpots; Stop Wi-Fi.

The full title from BBC is:
US mulls tech to disable rogue drones near airports
So what does it have to do with computers? It is thought ataht such tactics will also interfere with personal computrs using Wii-Fi to control a remote object. It could mean that users could not watch movies for the Internet dujring flight.

The bill also contains new rules that would force commercial airlines to keep flight-critical systems separate from in-flight entertainment systems in the wake of concerns that hackers could remotely take control of aircraft.
But they are just thinking albout it... so far.  :-\

EDIT: Drones like the Parrot AR.Drone use the 802.11n specs for remote control. Thus to disable any drone using that set of rmicroware bands would have to jam tghe whole set to disable a nearby dlrone.
