They’re afraid!
I think the health insurance companies are actually taken by surprise by the amount of people who sincerely wish them death. Maybe we will see some almost-meaningful change soon?

Drones are cheap and no security is defending against explosives falling on people.
The amount of weight a drone can carry is pretty limited. And the low tech easily made at home explosives are fairly heavy.
However, even if it was viable, the 1% will have everything right down to paper airplanes made illegal.
Russia uses armoured ground drones that look like mini tanks with armor resistant to bullets. They are used as explosive suicide drones. While there are large quadcopters for payload applications, this is the easiest delivery method.
Ehhhh these days you could 3d print a shell and use ball bearings for shrapnel. Iirc the ones in ukraine at first were just hobbyist drones (still are to some extent) and the explosives were mostly rigged up (still are to some extent). They won’t be as good as what ukraine has evolved into today (unless you take the tips they’ve learned along the way) but they’d still be something.
The Ukraine isn’t using improvised explosives for taking out tanks with drones. They use high tech explosives. Sometimes scavenged from unexploded Russian ordinance. Modern CEOs can afford armored limos that are not going to be cracked open using the quantities of improvised explosives that your average drone can carry.
Sure, but may I remind you you said this
To this
To which I responded about IEDs, and may I further remind you all of this is within the context of ruthlessly murdering CEOs on the streets in America. Unless you and the other guy are expecting uparmored mechsuits to become the newest fashion accessory for the uber-wealthy, an IED on soft, fleshy meat will work out just fine. Hell maybe you don’t kill him (with the first one) you just cripple him for life (or until the second hits), but it’s certainly not doing nothing. Even if they trade their limos and private jets for Bradleys and A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, they have to exit them sometime.
And you can make drones as illegal as you want to btw, this guy was killed in a city where guns are basically illegal with a gun, in a state where suppressors are damn near illegal with a suppressor, and an illegal federally out the box Temu suppressor at that, and hobbyist drones are a thing. Ukraine is building them in sheds right now. It can be done. Even an uparmored limo isn’t an APC, you can still disable some of those with a damn .50 BMG (which aren’t becoming illegal any time soon, the gun control advocates aren’t even looking at those until they get semi banned.)
