GATWICK DRONE SUSPECTS RELEASED

   British police on Sunday released a man and a woman who had been arrested in connection with the drone incursions at London’s Gatwick Airport that had disrupted holiday plans for tens of thousands of travellers.
  Sussex police said Sunday the two had cooperated with police and were no longer considered suspects in the case. They had been arrested late Friday. Both live in Crawley, a town that is a five-minute drive from Gatwick, Britain’s second-busiest airport.
 As to the cock-up of a response to the drone incursion;
  It was claimed that Department for Transport bosses were more concerned about protecting aircraft from birds than they were about investing in anti-drone technology.
  A senior Government source said: 'They were warned about these threats and did nothing about it.
  'There was equipment that could have been bought to stop this, but it never was.
