But perhaps doing it in a way that doesn't shower the runway with dangerous debris, is?

Don't they already shoot Canada geese at airports because they're such a nuisance? I imagine a similar tactic could be used for drones

They also hire people to covertly shoot the little birds that get stuck flying around inside Walmart (B&Q, $megacorp, etc.)

Met a guy while he was on the clock doing that, in fact.
