That's damned scary, those poor kids & their parents. Some idiot suggesting there might be shootings via airdrop.

Crazy world we are living in, this has happened before with bomb scares from prank callers iirc.
These time wasters need to be dealt with better.
Not only does it cause stress, but is a waste of police resources.

Me thinks Apple need to sort that one out. I can't think of too many situations where it is a good idea being able to drop files on everyone around you - too much scope for abuse... It should be limited to contacts only .

or at the very least the 'everyone' option should be time limited so it can be activated for 10 minutes or so and then revert back to contacts only...

It surely has to be someone on the young side, immaturity can lead humans to do some daft things - not that mature people are immune form doing daft things, just that youth & inexperience makes it more likely in this instance.
