Agreed, but the "previous balloon" part may be unnecessary.
User dTal is on the same train of thought as I was regarding the "not maneuverable" part.
What other type of object exists which can fly and yet does not have the ability to maneuver?
- singleshot_ 4y agoICBM Airplane on autopilot with dead/sleeping pilot Control surface problem (e.g. 737 elevator jackscrew excursion scenario) (Just thinking out loud/adding ideas, not contradicting).
- le-mark 4y agoHypersonic craft aren’t terribly maneuverable, to add an idea.
- CTDOCodebases 4y agoJeez imagine if a country decided to launch the first nuclear strikes using their national carriers passenger air planes masquerading as civilian aircraft. Multiple cities all at once.

- mr_toad 4y agoI’m not sure how widespread it is, but some ports have radiological detectors.
- alex_young 4y agoExcept they fly 2-3 hundred miles an hour and leak radiation we can detect from space…
- CTDOCodebases 4y agoIf they are detectable yes the speed is an issue. I haven’t seen info regarding detecting tracking unused nuclear weapons using sensors. Do you have a source?

- andirk 4y agoMy favorite of those is a former press secretary Jen Psaki tried to retort a perfectly good question from a reporter asking if the White House will send much needed coronavirus tests to American households: "Should we just send one to every American?" Psaki shot back, her voice dripping with sarcasm. [0] Twitter dragged her so hard it was/wasn't even funny, and the next day the White House did just that. Thanks lady!
