They arrested a man and wife and questioned them for 36 hours. The man was working out of the area when the drones were supposedly flying. His boss tried to tell the police, but he was ignored. They were released, but not before being demonized by the press.

Now the police say it's possible that there were no drones. There are no photographs. There were no official sightings. They just got calls from people who claimed they saw drones.

The whole incident might have been a false alarm.

The investigation continues.

The couple who were arrested had nothing to do with the drones and the investigation is on-going.

The Military was brought in and set up a drone detection system which was designed for Afghanistan.

It's also now been annonced that drone detection systems and counter measures will be rolled out to other airports.

I think we all knew that this was fairly inevitable, and that drones like laser oens before them, will not be tolerated in terms of airports and other secure areas.
