      Drones hiding in a stationary location, having got there how? It’s the words of a fool.

      You know what is a threat though, that 40% of ships exist solely to move fossil fuels from place to place. Drones can’t reach the mainland U.S. from say the Middle East. But Drones don’t need to reach from the Middle East when you offer copious amount of traveling routes and ships they can land and take off from where their range suddenly isn’t an issue. Seems like it would be much easier to launch a drone from near one of our own ports onto our soil. After all, they are going to wave those ships along every time and let them go where they need to go.

    Wouldn’t hiding at a coal or natural gas plant be similarly easy? It is not as though the spinning blades of wind turbines and the spinning propellers of a drone could be confused.
