What goes up, must come down. [1]
You could make sure your security forces understand exactly where they can shoot, but still, is it worth the risk to have bullets falling somewhere in a nuclear facility?

- Houshalter 12y agoPresumably they would use shotguns and not regular bullets. I don't know if that's that much less dangerous, but people do shoot at targets and birds like that all the time.
- toblender 12y agoIf we are concerned about safety, we can use a taser shotgun or rubber bullets. Or drones that hunt other drones...
- Havoc 12y ago>is it worth the risk to have bullets falling somewhere in a nuclear facility? The bullets aren't the issue. Nuclear facilities are usually not built from cardboard & prefab. The size of the drone is more the question - these seem to be smallish ones so it should be reasonably safe to have it drop near the plant.
- izacus 12y agoMy point is disproportionate response. A drone is nowhere near a security risk that would require a shooting response. Same as we're not using SAM sites to shoot down Cessnas that accidentaly blunder into no-fly zones over airports, powerplants and other bases just because they MIGHT (and in 99.9999999999999999999999+% cases they're not) cause some damage. I'm very very concerned just how the terrorist scare is trying to turn our countries into police states ruled by fear.
