WH Drone Pilot: Drunken Employee of US Intel. Agency

"According to the Secret Service, an unnamed employee of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) claimed responsibility for crashing a remote-controlled quadrocopter into a tree on the grounds of the White House."

"He claimed to have been drinking at an apartment near the White House when he decided early Monday morning to fly a friend’s new DJI Phantom drone."

Imho, lock him up. He worked for an intelligence agency (NGA) in aerospace (satellite imagery). He knew the rules. Being drunk is no excuse. If I, or any other normal person, had done this we would be under arrest, likely facing years behind bars.
