>Currently anyone smart enough to build drone with 7 inch propellers and programmable GPS waypoints, improvised explosives … 3d printed release mechanism .. probably has a pretty good paying job and doesn’t see the value proposition of blowing things up
This is true, but the thing is, at least in United States, its not a matter of lack of talent to build these things, its mostly a lack of need to destroy stuff. Given how things are going in the world, where an assasin is currently being celebrated, I dunno if this is gonna hold.
In the same way, it can very well be possible to make these things under $300 with mass produced kits. Hook up a gps chip to it, and its easy to make it waypoint navigatable without manual control
The advantage of a drone is that the level of separation between the assailant and the crime goes up so much that it becomes next to impossible for Law Enforcement to assertain a suspect.
