FAA declares Super Bowl a 'no drone zone'

The FAA is still working on comprehensive rules for drone aircraft, but the federal agency on Wednesday issued one guideline for the devices: Don't mess with the Super Bowl.

"Don't spoil the game — leave your drone at home," warns a brief FAA ad.

The FAA did not say how it would enforce the request, but it's safe to assume Rob Gronkowski would snare any low-flying drones and then spike them to smithereens. — Jon Terbush
