The part that strikes me the most about this article: "Opening up crowded urban areas full of terror targets to large numbers of flying platforms is always going to be packed with conflicting interests and difficulties" Yes, because urban areas full of terror targets aren't already full of platforms for weapons delivery. It's not like anyone can strap on a backpack and walk into a crowded mall. Terror is not that real a threat. If you're worried about the terror prospects, you've already lost. Terror has been possible since the invention of explosives. Most people are friendly and cooperative, and do not value random acts of violence. Real work to combat terror involves improving the lives of marginalized people, and hunting down the few rabid dogs that are spreading their disease.
