If they're anything like us I hope they're not interested in stopping by. Quoth the Hawking: "That didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans."
What about line of site by camera? Imagine a string of a dozen drones, each maintaining line of sight with the one ahead and the one behind, and you only have to directly observe the closes one.
If I won, I would at the very least stick around to find and train in a suitable replacement. I'd feel like a dick if I didn't do at least that. I might actually decide to invest in the company, and work to make sure my investments paid off. It's a small company with what appears to be a lot of potential, and the owners and I are like-minded.
I've known people who absentmindedly forgot to stow their LEGAL concealed carry weapons before boarding a plane. None of them were ever found, they realized after boarding. So how much good is the TSA actually doing?
BTW, why do a persons constitutionally guaranteed rights end when they board public transportation? Also, if all someone wanted to do was kill 3000 people there are sure as hell easier ways to do it than by sneaking something on a plane. Which as it turns out is so easy it can be done by accident.
But what is the actual real world benefit of making people feel safer? If actual security is of any concern, wouldn't it make more sense to keep everyone a little anxious so they're more alert to any potential real threats? It can't be for public approval, since that's already in the tank. The powers that be don't need public approval any more to stay in power anyway.
Hear hear! Wishing for mod points!
I would personally feel much safer in an armed and polite society. Glaser ammo is perfect for the situation, though tasers might be a more socially acceptable weapon on an aircraft.

Then there's your average, run-of-the-mill Basic Terrorist.
Or maybe THEY just want you to THINK that most people are complacent.
I would like to report the FBI for suspicious terrorist activity as described in the above referenced brochure.
Couldn't political dissent be considered "preliminary to serious crimes"?
Encode the text of the invitation in the DNA of a virus and infect them all!

That name makes me want to puke.
I'm doing that with my one manufacturing job, but I'm highly unusual as a decently paid CNC programmer.
Im sorry but cars this small should not be considered safe for Highway use (or even some cities)
It's a half scale prototype...
Check it out and let the half-scale Hiriko prototype fold its way to your city-dwelling heart.

That site doesn't work for me in Chrome. Do you have to use a certain browser, or am I locked out because I'm a dissident?
Lulu is good. My sister used it: http://www.lulu.com/product/ebook/the-god-eaters/16595193?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1 (Blatant Plug)
Temporarily denying public access to DOJ, RIAA, MPA and Universal Music web sites /= "Takes Down DOJ, RIAA, MPA and Universal Music".
Interesting point.
Time to get out the aluminized Mylar suit.
There's no such thing as "entrapment" any more.
I can see the world over the internets while I'm waiting for my programs to crunch. I'd rather do useful things than be a tourist.

Somehow the potential presence of a cupcake in a jar is more terrifying than evidence of structural degradation on several aircraft.
Actually it's the world's smallest ear-drum, not ear. The ear includes the laser apparatus.
If not a profit driven corporation, who?
New insult: "Go frak a volcano."
