I believe that Charlie was warned his tour could be dangerous this year, and that Charlie went ahead with it. I don't think bulletproof glass would've sent the message that he wanted. Hard to have an open dialogue with a very obvious barrier between him and the people he's speaking with.
The drones monitoring rooftops is a decent idea, however that is a piece of logistics that needs to be fully prepared for. Typical drone can last at most 30 minutes on its battery charge in stable stationary flight, less if its a windy day, so you'd need several drones all connected to the same monitoring system, with battery backups sufficient to cover DOUBLE the event's scheduled time for redundancy's sake.
Edit: Another potential use of the drones is that if a shooter or suspicious person IS spotted, the drone can be flown in their face or in front of their optic to disrupt their aim so they can't line up a killshot. If they tried to shoot the drone they would alert the entire event. The drone can then be used to track the suspect and get them apprehended
