Comment on We are living in the Pre-"Drone 9/11" era.

It’s a confined and defined space. Having a trash can bomb is scary, but it’s gonna be hard to stop people from going outside their homes. On the other hand, being in a specific place where drones were able to circumvent security measures? That scares people from events themselves.

There are countermeasures and protections in place against drones too.
A suicide bomber doesn’t need to escape. Inside people could plant remote detonated or timed devices between any final sweep and the start of the event.
Personally, I wouldn’t put my trust in the security theater at sporting events; not in the US at least.

The combination of security theater (metal detectors) and captive sales (no outside thermoses) makes it somewhat difficult to sneak something substantial into a closed event. As for not needing to escape, we’ll if suicide is already on the table, then a drone operator doesn’t need to survive either.

So have you been to one of these places? Especially in a globally renowned city such as LA or NYC? Whatever hoops you’re jumping through to walk in with something sound about the same difficulty as what comes with a drone plan.
