Sorry, but this is just a &quot;movie plot terrorism&quot; entry for Schneier&#x27;s annual competition, not reality as we live in it.<p>In what way is acquiring the skills required to download&#x2F;compile&#x2F;configure this software, then integrate it with an electrically detonated bomb - more likely to be undertaken by &quot;the bad guys&quot; than hooking the detonator up to the backlight of a burner phone and standing a block away and texting it? (Just like every reported IED from the latest war-torn country being bombed into democracy and freedom.)<p>It makes me mad when intelligent people think up &quot;bad things&quot; that might be done with extremely high barriers to entry, when way simpler and easier to achieve methods for the same &quot;bad stuff&quot; are obvious.<p>Case in point - one of my local councils has just blanket banned &quot;drones&quot; (without even bothering to define what a &quot;drone&quot; is) on the pretext that &quot;there is a concern about people taking unauthorised photos of children in public areas&quot; - See more at: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ausleisure.com.au&#x2F;news&#x2F;safety-fears-see-leichhardt-council-ban-drones-in-parks-and-public-spaces&#x2F;#sthash.7o23fPcn.dpuf&quot;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ausleisure.com.au&#x2F;news&#x2F;safety-fears-see-leichhard...</a>.<p>Watch this video of a $600 point-n-shoot camera (at least past the 37 sec mark) and tell me you&#x27;re more at risk from someone with a drone invading your privacy: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Csp6asxf00o" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Csp6asxf00o</a><p>If people want to take your (or your families) picture, they will. Probably with their cell phone without anyone noticing, or with a $600 camera on a tripod so far away you can&#x27;t even see them. They _won&#x27;t_ buy a $1,200+ drone and learn to pilot it, then fly it up close where you can see it. (And they _certainly_ won&#x27;t be learning to assemble and tune their own quadcopter for a few hundred dollars of Chinese sourced parts. Not just to be a creep with.)<p>Same if they want to blow something up - they&#x27;re not going to clone some open source code from github, learn how to use it&#x27;s python bindings, and build a RaspberryPi powered auto-detonator to trigger off your numberplate. There are _way_ lower barrier-to-entry methods to achieve that goal (which are also way more reliable).
