      The most surveilled area in all of America during that moment. No way anyone gets through all that security.

        The recent failures of the Secret Service honestly suggest otherwise. We’re not sending our best.

        Nepotism and buying your way in has infected every level of our government for far longer than people want to believe. We long ago lost real competent people in charge.

        We’ve had generations of people able to essentially pay for credentials through things like legacy admissions and a pet industry where students at prestigious universities pay poor students at regular-ass universities to do original research for them so their plagiarism cannot be caught since it’s an original paper.

        Are we really so shocked that the people running the show don’t actually know what the fuck they’re doing anymore?

            Whats with Inertial Navigation Systems? No need for outside signals. Afaik they tend to drift after a while, but a quick search says a high-end INS is still accurate to the meter at a distance of 50km (~30 miles). That sufficient to hit a group of meaty target.

            If you have line of sight you could communicate with a laser, hard to jam light. Probably require a bit of modification though.

        They can’t stop all of us if we rush 'em.

          So you would go to his inauguration and do what exactly?

          I wish. I’d guess that they can. A simple sonic crowd control weapon, a fire hose, and tear gas would do it. And after that they have automatic machine guns. The secret service hesitated to use those on the insurrectionists, but I imagine for “the left” the gloves would be off.
