New from BorgCo, the UAV net is a large, fine net on a circular hoop, attached to the end of a carbon-fibre sectional pole.
Used to catch Amazon delivery UAVs in transit.
Folds away for easy transport.
Deluxe kit comes with a pair of NV goggles and a pair of insulated boots*.
*Numerous
coarse fishermen have been electrocuted by striking overhead power lines with their highly conductive carbon fibre "roach poles". This is apparently viewed as a bad thing, except perhaps by fish.

For a minute I was afraid this was going to be another
blimp-based internet service. |

So why not make the pole out of something less
conductive? Electrical workers have non-conductive
plastic poles and tools. |

I've got my own, can I get just the pole without the
goggles? |

Did you read the part about "coarse fishermen" ? What part of this don't you get ? |
|
|
// can I get just the pole without the goggles? // |
|
|
Of course, and as a bonus, you won't be charged any extra. |
|
|
Can't you just tempt them down with some breadcrumbs and a bit of bacon rind? |

A net is a workable but somewhat prosaic solution and, I must say, a bit disappointing considering who is the author. Shirley some sort of stealth-cloaked 'Raptor UAV' would be more entertaining? |

No, no, no. This is all far too much effort. |

Simply broadcast fake GPS signals to let all the drones know your home is the warehouse. |

But then they would arrive at your house empty! |
