      How long until someone creates a plausibly convincing fake of these drones and uses them to perform a false flag or massacre with no chance of culpability?

            “Truancy is at an all time low” report various government instances. Oddly enough child sized coffins sales at an all time high, experts call it an “odd coincidence” more at 5.

    Yeah this will go swimmingly. Especially if you’re the supplier of drones to the schools.

    These will be purchased, sit in a cabinet and never be charged or maintained. When they are “needed”, no one will know how to operate them or what they can do.

    This is a waste of money from the hit git go.

      I give it 6 months before some kid asks ChatGPT to help him hijack these drones instead of bringing a gun of his own. He’ll murder his classmates with irony.

    As long as the drones are fully autonomous but still use WiFi with the factory default password, it should be OK.

    The only thing to prevent school shooting seems to be more guns, AND more automated guns. Somehow.

      It’s not guns that are the problem, it’s bullets, just ban selling bullets, let everyone keep there guns, problem will sort itself in a year or 2

        You know, as someone who like the looks and the mechanical side of guns, I find that idea interesting. It would not be practical, I guess, bullets are probably easier to pass under the table than guns, but eh.

      Can’t be any school shootings if there isn’t either school or children in them. Success.
