What's the solution? Does the U.S. Forest Service create its own fleet of attack drones? Orbital laser platform? Hack the radio control frequency?

Edit: Oh they already did! The U.S. Forest Service requested a drone from the Department of Defense

Well if people keep doing this they'll just make drones harder and harder to acquire. If people stop doing this, maybe we can all enjoy a pretty cool hobby.

I'd imagine they'll start outfitting with some type of signal jammers? But I don't know how drones behave when they're not receiving signal.

Soon the US will have better drone control laws than it has gun control laws

That's because the US constitution says nothing about drones.
