How to down a drone

Just shoot them down?

After troublesome drones infiltrated London’s Gatwick airport late last year, disrupting passenger flights and costing potentially millions of pounds in revenue, that was the instinctive question posed by the watching world. [Bloomberg]
 
I`m more interested as to how to keep the drone safe. Pepper spray the attacker, shoot needles at the attackers eyes. Ha Ha or even mustard gas if the drone goes down and the attacker gets close....but thats not keeping it safe
 
Radio jamming with a tractor beam to catch it.
An example of very useful technology being abused to the point where it is now a major problem. Saw a drone over my house the other day.

And? Did you get it?

No was not ready with my EMP gun, and the tractor beam so far has failed ..... Not impressed with these things flying overhead.

As long as they don't loiter and keep above 50m I don't have a problem with it... then again I'm usually the guy on the other end of the controls.
 
bow and arrow??

sling shot??

another drone??

Is there a right answer?
 
Question: given that Jammers intercept/ interfere with data communication between drone and pilot, is it not a contravention of the ECT act?
 
Let me fly it, will be down in about 30 seconds.
