drone takedown tools: beam guns and eagles

[C-Bag]

I wondered how long it would be before drones were legislated into oblivion for all except the gubment to use. The whole thing for me is such a double edged sword....it has such promise for good but it's quickly going the "Sky Net" route with summary executions in far off lands without much due process. Could it be plausible deniability when they program a drone to do a mission autonomously and it kills the "wrong" persons? As usual it's hard to get the real facts also about how many equipment failures there are too.

Meanwhile every military in the world is getting their own drone fleets. Did you see the Russian drone heavy tank they fielded not to long ago? The whole drone and high altitude bombing scheme of removing aggressors from the close and personal horror of war can't be a good thing IMHO. Turns the whole world into a video game.

We went and toured a robotics exhibition of mostly school aged kids tonite and notably the only ones who were not kids had some very high tech and big drones on display. There is a company with military contracts building drones here and I saw a job opening. I fit the bill, even having their wet dream, a A&P license. As much as the nerd in me would LOVE to build and be part of a team manufacturing all sizes of flying contraptions the moral side of me couldn't do it. After my kids were born and I had a vested interest in what kind of world I was helping to leave behind I knew I couldn't continue to fix cars and support a petroleum based economy. That's when I bailed and made food packing equipment. So how in the world could I build drones for the military? It's getting harder and harder to do no harm either directly or indirectly. I know Oppenheimer deeply regretted his part in birthing the bomb. How many others were working on something to make the world better like in the book:
The Alchemy of Air Audiobook | Thomas Hager | Audible.com

And they take the discovery of how to extract nitrogen from the air to make fertilizer as the world is running out of supplies of guano and the Nazi regime use it to make munitions in WWII.

Like the old Quicksilver Messenger Service song goes, "Oh God, pride of man, broken in the dust again"....
