Yeah this will go swimmingly. Especially if you’re the supplier of drones to the schools.
These will be purchased, sit in a cabinet and never be charged or maintained. When they are “needed”, no one will know how to operate them or what they can do.
This is a waste of money from the hit git go.
They just need more school shootings, so these things get proper use.
I give it 6 months before some kid asks ChatGPT to help him hijack these drones instead of bringing a gun of his own. He’ll murder his classmates with irony.
