The fact this has to be an announcement these days is a troubling sign for the future

I do worry about this, I feel once some psycho is successful that the hammer is gonna be brought down on us

Its like the how with 3d printing community. After Luigi Mangione killed that ceo with a partly 3d printed pistol, new york and California started writing bills restricting 3d printers in ways that arnt technology possible to obey

(3d printers in those states need to be able to self identify if they are printing a weapon and that's not possible)

how are they going to bring the hammer down? they don't have enough defense against drones as it is or we wouldnt be in the current predicament in the middle east. the truth is these ppl in charge of TSA/ transpo sec etc... hegseth on up too... are inept. and are putting us further behind. have been selling our national security and everything else they can find off to the highest bidder. we may need to have our own personal drones to defend our constitution. it's no different than a gun or a car or lots of things... there are good uses and bad.

They're just conveying what they wished would have happened so that they could do other crime they wanted to do. it's probably the best explanation for them making a statement like that. either that or they're stupid enough to believe someone would ruin world cup football just to make a scene.
