Title could be clarified a bit - I was both excited and nervous to read about two drones plucking this hapless man off the ground and back to Russia.

Yeah, sorry, tried to keep it as close to the original as possible, but "camera drones" might have been better

For context: there have been many reports lately of (camera) drone activity around power stations and oil rigs/installations performed by unknown parties

Sounds like it wasn't just the drones:

"The police in Finnmark are asking for two weeks' detention for a Russian who filmed with a drone in Norway. They will review large amounts of seized film, and the charges may be extended."

Well, he had 3 passports, 2 russians with various kinds of visa, and one israeli. And lots of images were encrypted. Which tourist will encrypt his images?
