Look, they are likely to be used to 'watch' all those bitter clingers, Constitution readers, and 'right winged domestic terrorist' types out in flyover country.
Any explosions can be written off as an 'accidental' event occuring in some 'militia' stockpile, which would only further the justification for using more drones...
If 200+ people observing what appeared to be a missile going up toward the doomed Flight 800 can be ignored, so can one or two witnesses/survivors...
Don’t misunderstand me, I fully appreciate the danger here. My point is they are going to take a few years to justify this move, as well as figure out how to pay for it, which means we have time to prepare. Also, my guess is they won’t initially be armed. It will eventually come to that, but in the interim we have time to fight this proposal, even if that is just a delaying action.
