You'd have thought so - wouldn't you.

Drones are restricted, in relation to an airport, within 2 or 2.5 nm radius plus a rectangular section 5km in line with a runway. So they have more freedom than manned aircraft.
I think you will find that if there is restricted airspace around an area it makes it easier to prosecute should someone or drone be in there without permission, equally if a terrorist wants to use a drone for an attack they won't care what airspace is around an area.
