Recently traveled abroad and was shocked at how dystopian moving through borders is anymore. Scans after scans of passports, fingerprinting, face scans, questions about intentions for visiting, paperwork, cameras throughout airports that are surely doing untold amounts of biometric analysis with some bullshit AI…in some of these places you get laughed at if you ask about opting out. It almost isn’t worth it.

If you use phone to carry explosive, and a separate device to direct the explosion you can cause a lot of (directed) destruction.

But maybe not crash the airplane as a result.

We've seen them lose a door and the front third fo the roof before, they're surprisingly robust

Aloha air? 1988? Yeah man that one lives with me on how safe planes really can be considered.

As long as it doesn't have an auto pilot feature that makes you nosedive to counter a completely mismanaged weight and design flaw.
