WALB reports that corrections officers at Calhoun State Prison in South Georgia spotted a multi-rotor drone fly over the prison gates. Not normal! They started searching the area, and, sure enough, they found a black Dodge full of dodgy folks nearby. Inside the vehicle: binoculars, big bunches of tobacco, and of course, a remote controlled drone. Remember when you could just bake the verboten goods into a cake care package? [WALB]
