    I hate to crash the party but these things could be used as a first strike strategy!


    Enough said!


    How could you guard against 100 of these things, apart from mass signal jamming?

    Depends on if they are actually programmed to get "you" or just flying in and crashing. You can mess up their signals. Mirrors were listed as one of the items that can keep them from zoning you down.

    As far as just having these things flying around - even unarmed - there's going to be crashes. They've already had trouble with them and planes. Filling the sky with flying objects might not be as bright of an idea as our gov wants to think it is.

      I expect he'll get a good slap for that - you can't have people risking the welfare of people walking below. Crazy thing is - he could have gotten by with it...except he wanted the recognition for doing it.

      If you want to fly under the radar - you need to keep your mug off the camera:p

      January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
      So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.
