Assassin drones.

The tiniest of drones are capable of carrying a 3 gram shape charge explosive that will easily kill someone.

The article linked below is over exaggerating how small it is, but a 3 inch by 3 inch (75mm) square drone will have the capacity and range to carry the explosive (much less than weight of bullet) a few hundred feet, use face recognition to find, and then detonate to kill him/her.

The tech is already available, it not if but when.

Best we are aware of the horrible exploits of positive tech than be ignorant of it.

The US has already used these in an assignation attempt on Maduro in Venezuela in August 2018.
Smaller more advanced "Swarming or Assassination" Drones are in use in Iran, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen and a few other very covert locations.

I know those, but they are big, clunky, and easy to stop.

What I am talking about are drones so small someone can carry 50 of them in a case.
They will be so small they will not be easily noticed, hard to stop, and able to fly though very small openings, like air condition ducting.

Advances in tech development will always be exploited, unfortunately.
Drones will be dispatched based on your Facebook status or Twitter replies........🙄

That was staged.
If not, then the US was not involved.
😂
Ok, sure. We’re just actively in the middle of a regime change operation that my rep said the quiet part out loud a couple weeks ago, but yea it was staged. 🙄

So much focus on how to kill each other. It was ever foolish considering the bounty of the earth even after our entire human history of going after each other for greener grass and leaving scorched earth behind in retreats, but... dare I say it for one more set of generations: "this is gettin' ****in' ridiculous."
