Pretty soon the Drone King will get a taste of his own medicine (metaphorically speaking, of course.)

/ sarcasm = heavy and dripping

Why don’t they use this wonderful PRISM system to trace him down?

If it can’t nab a 29 year old geek, how will it protect us from terrorism?

This guy will not stay in Hong Kong. Anywhere else, this dude has a bullseye on his back.
