2 Arrested In Plot To Fly Contraband Into Prison With Drone

Posted by samzenpus on from the care-package dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Using a drone to get contraband into prison seems to be all the rage lately. Police say two men attempting to fly drugs, tobacco and pornography into a Maryland state prison with a drone were arrested Monday. Stephen T. Moyer, secretary of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services worries that someone will try to use a drone to deliver a gun. "That's my biggest fear," he told a news conference. "The use of these drones to bring this type of contraband into a facility is very, very troubling, and we're going to address it."

    So that's why I didn't get my drugs, tobacco and pornography this month.

    If the package is literally made of grass... then you might not catch it.

    And worse yet, what if the yard is bermuda grass, and some a-hole drops tall fescue seed all over the yard?
    A nightmare. A living nightmare it would be.
