How many drones would it take to do that? We’re talking potentially thousands of square miles. The resources required to scan all those areas—and scan them often enough to catch all the drones slowly working their way through—would be monumental.

It would be not unlike scanning all US aircraft passengers to the extent that it is done. At the time, that looked quite infeasible and expensive as well. You would be surprised at how much resources can be diverted to security firms under guise of national security.

My assumption is that it would be several orders of magnitude more than that, but, maybe we’ll find out.
