Drone Weaponry
Nightmare Scenario...
The terrorists are always one step ahead. Post 9/11, we tightened our air travel security. We have TSA agents looking for bombs, and knifes and water bottles...and even shoes. Now, we allow drones to fly legally. The next big thing will be air traffic disrruption on a grand scale. The terrorist will be able to use drones to disrupt our airports. They have very little to loose. Even if they don’t cause any physical harm, the economic damage can be great. The genie is out of the bottle. How can we stop them now. My prediction is coming true. When will they figure out if one drone can do this, why not 100 drones in a simultaneous attack?
Summary
This is an experiment in a digital time capsule. I've made 10 predictions in December of 2016. By 2026, this will be reviewed to see how accurate my predictions were. I have decided to add this hub so as to insure the integrity of my original post. It will not be edited even if it becomes un-featured by HubPages down the road.
This hub will be linked by the original so I can add comments along the way...
