You got lucky, flying into MSP the other day approach ATC was desperately trying to contact a VFR type who blundering around KSGS oblivious to what was going on.
At least he's never made any of us wait while he got a haircut!

I understand the principle but it was inside my house. I guess it is just the new world we live in. I often dream about moving to the wilds of Alaska and becoming a wild mountain man.
Speaking of drones, haven't heard anything from our fearless leader after incidents involving 2 different drones, pontoon boats and a certain lake. 8)
That is the price of being on the cutting edge of technology I guess.It's cheaper to watch other people crash theirs. Besides, I was an early adopter. All the new ones just fly themselves...

Eddie, you can turn that system off by downloading the setting software and hooking it up to your computer. At least most of them you can (DJI), but do you really want to?

so how is big brother communicating with the drone to let it know there is a tfr?
So there must be an ES type message added on to to signals sent to GPS receivers inside the TFR ring that shuts down drones. Makes you wonder what else they could shut down?

.. Makes you wonder what else they could shut down?
Makes me wonder what if the drone was flying and a TFR went active where it was?
Or if it was out of the TFR but directed by the operator to fly into it?
Would it quit and fall to the ground?
Maneuver clear of the TFR?
Or maybe self-destruct?
