I’m aware of Maduro’s close call years ago and the Soleimani operation (a state-sponsored effort), but at this point, every idiot with a grudge has access to drones.

And if you’re out there buying one —you’re probably either a moron, a faggot, and plotting to kill someone, likely a politician.

So why hasn’t this happened yet?

With a drone, you can keep your distance and maybe even get away.

It's the sociopath's efficiency upgrade.

How many terrorist bombings do you hear about where people just get away and we never learn who did it?

Drones introduce layers of distance and complexity that make attribution significantly more difficult.

With a well-executed plan—spoofed signals, untraceable hardware, and no digital breadcrumbs—it’s not about escaping unnoticed but creating enough uncertainty to avoid immediate identification.

History has plenty of examples where attacks remain unresolved simply because the perpetrator left no direct trail and didn’t seek recognition.

It’s not foolproof, but it’s a calculated move to maximize disruption while minimizing personal risk.

But I’m thinking more along the lines of lesser-known figures—say, a senator from Wisconsin like Tammy Baldwin—who wouldn’t have the same level of protection or countermeasures.

I love everyone - this thread is just me genuinely wondering how something like this hasn't happened yet, and hopefully raising attention so that it doesn't happen.

Thank.

A half-decent drone, a YouTube tutorial, and a deranged, personal grudge are often enough to lay the groundwork. And let’s not forget, drones are everywhere—just look at the recent East Coast incident. They’ve gone from niche tech to a casual presence in parks, backyards, and now apparently airspace violations.

And "not throwing their lives away"? History is packed with people who've torched their futures over far pettier grievances or random violence.

It’s not about "elite" capability; it’s about just enough competence, a burning grudge, and that $weet $pot of deranged confidence where common sense dies.

also most appearances are secret and so getting the drone to within 5 miles of a random target location is a no go 99% of the time

You’re completely out of touch if you think the majority of U.S. politicians are protected with anti-drone technology. Senators, governors, and most public officials don’t have anywhere near the kind of security detail you’re describing. Sure, POTUS and a few high-level figures have EW platforms and intense protection, but the average senator’s "security" is basically a staffer with a clipboard.

As for "secrecy"- it’s not like (most) of their schedules are classified.

Public appearances, local events, and press coverage make it pretty easy to piece together where they’ll be with minimal effort.

The real bottleneck isn’t security—it’s finding someone both motivated and unhinged enough to try.

And I just don't understand how it has not happened yet given how long drones have been around.

you can just walk up and shoot Rep. Shmuckateli from East Bumfuck, no need for a drone

the Boston bombers used two huge IEDs at point blank and only killed 3 people

The only reason this hasn't happened is that there aren't that many terrorists with the intelligence to work out the details.

the heavily documented war in Ukraine showed me how flame they were.

again, anything a small drone can drop won’t be deadly unless 1) it hits within a meter and 2) nobody is around to give basic first aid
