I think y'all are overestimating the mullah's control over their attack dogs. I could absolutely see Hamas or Hizbollah cells and their handlers getting trigger happy and doing something on their own. These aren't Mensa geniuses with loads of self control. They are all eager to go claim the fairest among the virgins in jihad heaven.
The new AI controlled drones will have no electronic connection to those who launch them at airports and drive a half hour away before it strikes a jet liner waiting on a taxiway. They will not be easily caught and they know it, so makes them all the more willing to act. However, I disagree they will disobey their handlers, because they receive too much of their living money from them. My estimate is we see this in 3 to 5 years. Once it happens at a few airports, who's going to be the next person to board a plane and sit there on a runway like a sitting duck? Nobody. This will shut down our airports in their entirety for a very long time. This is a black swan event that will be devastating to our economy and stock markets. This is much more likely than a rouge nuclear attack, IMO and just a matter of time. How much time?
Very nice point, not trying to minimize it but all I could think while reading this was "Buy Greyhound stock, lots of it."
