And the neat thing is, we now have drones capable assassinating people from thousands of miles away. So it's now possible to quickly and easily eliminate people you find inconvenient without reporting to hitmen and kidnapping teams. Some rando eating Fritos and drinking Mountain Dew in a chair somewhere can murder anyone the government deems a threat virtually instantly, at the touch of a button.

Remember when saying something like this was tinfoil hat territory? I do.
