There were no drones at all. No confirmed sightings, no radio signals, no radar returns.

Forget about the evildoers. I imagine one jerk who buys a house under the departure (who has only been there during a lull) and is P.O.ed that
"all those d--ned airplanes are flying right over" his house. He is the guy I envision messing with traffic.

We've been seeing quite a bit of this on fires over the past few years; air operations being shut down because some yahoo is flying his little quad copter or remote control airplane around the fire area.
Law enforcement has managed to cite a few of them, most just disappear. I think in one case fire crews downed a "drone" with a hose.
