A Robotic 9/11
- Ten drones would take off autonomously in 1 minute intervals.
- Each would follow a GPS flightpath to a preselected portion of an airport.
- Upon arrival, a digital camera would identify the nearest wing of an aircraft.
- The drone would land itself in the middle of that wing.
- A pound of thermite in the payload would ignite upon landing.
- The thermite would burn through the wing, igniting the fuel inside...
- Most of the airport and nearly all of the planes on the tarmac are destroyed.

First he says this:
"Last year I was hired to craft a long term vision for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on how autonomous robots should be used to radically improve how the US military fights wars."
Then he says this:
"We need to figure this out before the bad guys do. However, figuring this out requires a deep insight into the dynamics driving this forward."
===========================
There ya go.
The terrorists are already here, and have been since who knows when, and they already know about all of this stuff too, they invented it. It's what they do!
You have to be pretty forceful in getting that head as far up that ass as possible to not be aware of what's going on around you right out in plain site.
In most places today if you mention such a thing those with their heads the farthest up their asses are the first one to start squealing like bald tires, "Conspiracy theorist!", as their pre-programmed default.
flotsam and jetsam

"We need to figure this out before the bad guys do."
The "bad guys" of course are the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
They're the morons pissing away a trillion dollars a year stolen from the decreasingly few productive middle class.
