The author seems like a total dick, but given the recent fear/rumor of the possibility of a false flag attacks on U.S. soil, I feel like something like this isn't inconceivable.

Border patrol / coast guard. There's really no way to get a large amount of drones close enough to stage the attack without getting caught.

Lol. You dont believe a motivated actor couldnt get ahold of a hundred or so off the shelf drones from within the us? What are your walmarts and costcos even for?

No, but someone going to buy 100 drones is going to raise eyebrows.

If the goal is to not draw attention, you're not going to show up and ask for a pallet of drones. Don't be silly.

But I think you haven't realized that entire shipping containers full of drones enter the country on a daily basis. The vast majority of drones are imported.
