Cheap drone accessories from stores like Temu make it possible to turn a normal drone into a killing machine. Now anyone—from criminal syndicates to paramilitary groups, from disgruntled employees to ostracized teens—can mod their drones to do remote violence.

Cars are more dangerous than aerial drones. And always will be. Stop fear mongers and consider how much drones add to our society already. Construction? Yep. Inspection? Sure. And when is the last tv show or commercial you saw not have a drone shot in it?

Using a real shipping address to order that stuff is such a funny way to report yourself. Those packages are not showing up, but your very own federal agents will lol

I've said for years - what scares me is some political nut job with a drone - loading a remote control bomb onto one and flying it into a huge protest group and the terror and bloodshed, how easily it could happen, how quickly it could prevent people's voices from being heard. This shit scares me.

i would like to submit creative ideas for protests where people don't stay outside: - leave cars in intersections and walk away (*full chaos route, trackable) - creative pylon misplacements to also mess up traffic (*less tracking who did what, easier to dismantle) - 'strike' days where you stay home

That's like making guns illegal. Someone who is willing to break the law to MURDER - will be willing to break the law with gun ownership. Anyone willing to use a drone as a makeshift BOMB would certainly be willing to break city laws banning the drone.

Explain please - how is my claiming that anti-drone laws isn't going to stop someone committed to using them as weapons from doing so... How does that make my brain "broken" - especially like a republican? We have laws against guns in schools - doesn't stop school shootings. Evidence is on my side

….I’m not even sure how to respond…. - Making guns illegal makes them more visible when they’re used so people have heightened awareness. Same with drones. - Drones were banned to just not be a nuisance. - there’s many of legal tools to commit illegal acts. - reducing presence reduces likelihood

OMG - I owe you an apology! I thought you were the same person who said I have a broken brain. That's why I said talk not insult - I'm truly sorry and your response was very respectful and I actually appreciated it! I'm sorry.

I accept your premise that having them be illegal means that a weaponized drone could be more quickly identified as a threat - rather than one weaponized drone flying among 15 observational drones. That point is received and thank you. You are right - safER but not safe. PS. talk not insult pls
