    The most surveilled area in all of America during that moment. No way anyone gets through all that security.

      The recent failures of the Secret Service honestly suggest otherwise. We’re not sending our best.

      Nepotism and buying your way in has infected every level of our government for far longer than people want to believe. We long ago lost real competent people in charge.

      We’ve had generations of people able to essentially pay for credentials through things like legacy admissions and a pet industry where students at prestigious universities pay poor students at regular-ass universities to do original research for them so their plagiarism cannot be caught since it’s an original paper.

      Are we really so shocked that the people running the show don’t actually know what the fuck they’re doing anymore?

          If you have line of sight you could communicate with a laser, hard to jam light. Probably require a bit of modification though.

          Whats with Inertial Navigation Systems? No need for outside signals. Afaik they tend to drift after a while, but a quick search says a high-end INS is still accurate to the meter at a distance of 50km (~30 miles). That sufficient to hit a group of meaty target.
