      How long until someone creates a plausibly convincing fake of these drones and uses them to perform a false flag or massacre with no chance of culpability?

          Or when they start using the drones as truancy officers as a cost cutting measure …

            “Truancy is at an all time low” report various government instances. Oddly enough child sized coffins sales at an all time high, experts call it an “odd coincidence” more at 5.

    Yeah this will go swimmingly. Especially if you’re the supplier of drones to the schools.

    These will be purchased, sit in a cabinet and never be charged or maintained. When they are “needed”, no one will know how to operate them or what they can do.

    This is a waste of money from the hit git go.

      I give it 6 months before some kid asks ChatGPT to help him hijack these drones instead of bringing a gun of his own. He’ll murder his classmates with irony.

    This seems like a stupendously bad idea on its face. Haven’t they heard of Murphy’s Law?

    The number of guns will be increased again to handle the problems caused by the increased number of guns.

    As long as the drones are fully autonomous but still use WiFi with the factory default password, it should be OK.

      Don’t forget, that the password is written on the bottom, so its visible when they fly above you

    Fucking stupidest idea I ever seen.

    The US has more guns than its total population. Real GUN CONTROL is needed.

    And when one of these Drones KILLS INNOCENT CHILDREN we can get Drones for our Drones to Protect our Kids from our Drones we Put in Their SCHOOLS!

    Because that is much more efficient than just simply having GUN CONTROL! Why not give every school an APV AND TANKS?!

      Same reason the UK has the Online Safety Act: People who don’t know shit about fuck being convinced by people who do know shit about fuck but want to make money from them being sold a big shiny solution that they are convinced will work.
