Nothing 'magical' about it. You're just conditioned not to accept what can be made trivially possible if not for people who actively put up artificial barriers to protect their own personal interests, short name, politics. That's what your dismissive post indicates anyway. If you believe something to be unrealistic, so it shall be. My expectations have been reduced accordingly.
If the public is permitted on the property, it kinda is during that time.
Maybe they should carry a gun. If nobody fires, it would be a tribute to their self discipline. And if they do fire, lock the doors until there is only one. That will be the nominee. Draw, Partner!
But it is more logical to apply Darwin's "law", and not fine drivers for knocking them down. The problem will solve itself. If the phone's camera can be turned on while texting, the person might see what is about to hit them. And the front camera can snap the reaction on their face at the last instant. Worth more than a thousand words...
What does that mean? Who said you have to land to drop the package? Jeeze, we don't don't even have to use a manned vehicle for delivery anymore. I don't understand your difficulty with this. It's pretty basic.
You don't remember *anything, anytime, anywhere*? Just make the call, flash enough green, or lead (to 'expedite' said paperwork... plata o plomo), and it'll be there. It shouldn't be any more difficult to do above board. The reality is that politics is the only impediment, the tech and ability have been around since World War Two.
90% of our efforts are used in building barriers between each other without going through official channels. We can drop a pallet anywhere on the planet within 24 hours, but you need six months to get the permits . *Bury 'em in paperwork* That's the objective. To reverse that stupid meme, when the incompetence in purposeful, it is a malicious act.
It will all be much cheaper if and when we send tunnel boring machines to do the job, like a worm eating out the innards of an apple. And besides that, having dug barely two miles into the crust, I doubt we have come anywhere near to knowing what we have available. Cheap, bountiful, and clean (aside from the heat factor) energy, water, food are not fantasies. With mechanization, they should no longer be an issue. Politics is the only thing holding us back. Peak oil/coal is a marketing gimmick for the commodities traders.

Well fine, live with stagnation. Whatever is most convenient.

Alright! 48 hours... Jeeze!
An observation! I have nothing to opine.
Well, there is Romney.
Not sure about Adams, but "budget-wise" we can go on indefinitely, much more "smoothly" under Clinton than Trump, by a long shot.
Not to see if Trump is lying, that's a given :-), but if you are
Money? Just like on the outside, prostitution and drug sales.
It's just a phase. I have to assume that our lifespans are too short to comprehend the slow pace of evolution.
People are stupid.
Nah, just political.
Woof! Talk about *the assassin accusing the assassin*!
this ain't public property.

I'll contribute some ammo, but they gotta use it or give it back afterwards.
I'm sorry, you disagree with my assessment?

Reality is determined by consensus, not evidence of fact.
Is that a good thing?

I think the FAA should mandate Nerf Drones. It'll just bounce off the plane, and the engines should be able to consume one with minimal damage.
Perfect enough. You won't have chronic problems. The politics is the only issue to contend with. Everything else is a piece of cake.
Challenging a patent after it has expired should be "rewarded" with a big fine for wasting the court's time.
Why not? We drink old water
Just needs better oversight. Nuclear can be done perfectly safely. The only danger with anything is politics.
