For instance, in Rome during Fall Season there are thousands of birds that fly by the city, taking nearby shelter in trees. It was awful walking down roadways, floor was slippery and poop was everywhere

It's not a matter of whether drone operators _can_ learn. It's more a matter of many of them _not_ learning. Why do firefighters still have trouble with drone operators running drones in areas where they are actively fighting fires? Not that all pilots are good about following the regulations all the time even though they should, but the consequences to the individual for not following FAA regulations as a private pi…
Sure, random drone people are a problem but in this case, I don't see why the airport themselves cannot hire trained professional drone operators. Drones opperated by the firefighters themselves might prove to be useful.

You can already do that with your own manually controlled drones(surprisingly, no one has done this yet). There is no need to hack the airports drones.
I think it's not surprising at all. After all, most people are sane individuals who are unwilling to pour time, money, effort and risk their life in order to simply cause suffering on other people. There simply isn't money in downing planes, so most people have no incentive to want to do it.
This could also be used at landfills to scare away seagulls.
Unless eating from landfills harms the seagulls, why? What precious things are the seagulls taking from landfills, and why do we need landfills to remain perfectly preserved?

What kind of birds fly above 20,000 feet???

Unlucky bastard. You think you're safe, 7 miles above the earth, far from any predator, when WHAM. At least it was a quick death.

The seagulls eat the refuse then comtaminate the water supply with their feces.
Do you want seagulls to not eat, never eat? Do you want seagulls to be killed?
Is the water supply adjacent to the landfills? Will the seagulls not poop in the water supply if they didn't eat from landfills, or is pooping in the water supply not a problem as long as the seagulls haven't eaten from a landfill?

If we're discussing movie-plot scenarios, it seems like it would be much easier for an attacker to buy their own drone. And maybe figure out how to put explosives on it, too.
I'm not a big fan of conspiracy ... but I fear this is going to be an all-to-likely scenario. Someone's gonna do it and it will change aviation for a while; restrictions, mega investment in new tech i.e. special radar, anti-drone kind of stuff. Won't be able to fly a drone anywhere remotely near an airport. And there are a lot of airports!
Or did you mean conspiracy theory? Huge difference.

I still don't understand your reasoning. Do you want seagulls to not eat, never eat? Do you want seagulls to be killed? Is the water supply adjacent to the landfills? Will the seagulls not poop in the water supply if they didn't eat from landfills, or is pooping in the water supply not a problem as long as the seagulls haven't eaten from a landfill?
I don't think pilots would be entirely opposed to this kind of tech. While I don't think many pilots trust drone operators to be responsible in any way (I don't, since I don't think many of them know the airspace system or where their nearby airports are), they might be okay with unmanned aerial systems operated by the local airport authority, since they could likely geofence them in such a manner that they'd never c…
> don't think many of them know the airspace system or where their nearby airports are) Don’t you think they can’t learn that just like you did?
