Drones fly around, listening to cell traffic and logging call data and the position of phones in the middle east (so called "metadata"). These logs are then fed into a computer, which attempts to find relationships between phones. Which phones regularly find themselves in the same location as other phones? Which phones called other phones? The computer is also fed imperfect information that correlates some phones to the identities of alleged 'baddies'. When phones are found to have close 'relationships' with phones that have at least at one point been used by 'baddies', sometimes the computer decides that the phone must be executed. It prints out an order, which is passed up the line to the President. The President rubber stamps the order. The order goes back down the line and eventually finds it's way back to the computer. The computer, using the before mentioned drones, locates that phone and informs a drone operator. The drone operator then tells the drone to execute that phone, and any people who may happen to be in the area with it. The drone carries out the execution. Nothing but a bureaucratic skynet.
