I still do not understand the fixation with the technology when the easier target is circumventing the security gauntlet completely. Unless you are trying to access a secure location which has highly limited entry points there are always alternative ways. The question is what is your time, "motivation", and footprint that your operation requires.

It's the idea that "Technology can solve anything!" with people forgetting about Anti-Technology.
I have often said, "Never forget what you already know!" Today, we're throwing up buildings that won't outlive me. Whereas I have an Uncle that's living in Southern Ontario whose house is well over a century old. (Well, the outter walls and foundation are. He had to rebuild the internal walls and roof.). |

Explosives work pretty well. When you have suicide drones blow up half the terminal the security guards probably won't notice a couple of guys sneaking past the weapons detectors. You can then you a firearm to force the pilot to takeoff without clearance, use more explosives to blow out the door in midair, and parachute onto your target.
D.B. Cooper, hell yeah. |

"TAKE THIS PLANE TO CUBA!" "This is a Helo, we won't have anywhere near enough fuel!!!" "TAKE THIS PLANE TO CUBA!" "Sorry, Mate, that's all the English he knows. He thinks it means 'Take off now or I shoot you'." "CUBA!!!"

Third is the people. Staff and visitors. People often see number 2, sometimes 3. |

Now, now...we all know that the correct answer to this problem is "More money, less brains". This is SR, after all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif)
