Aw, I was hoping for less than $50k. That's still pretty expensive!

Plus, they probably don't even come with payloads, so that will add additional cost.

Fill it with white powder and the reaction will cause more damage than a bomb would have caused.

Honestly, one high-profile incident like that would probably be enough to get civilian ownership of drones banned across the country.

Can you imagine the panic a consumer drone would cause if it flew over the White House and dropped baking soda on it.

A drone listing is described in the seller's catalogue as a "cruise missile" able to carry a 2kg warhead 30km

If you're lucky, it'll carry a 0.5kg warhead 10km. That's assuming they don't ship it with any missing pieces.

Hm? They can carry 100x as much payload over more than 10x that distance.

$96US to build a 3D printed Stinger shoulder launched missile and now mail ordered drones. Things aren’t looking good.

Open source guided missiles are a good thing in some ways. We, as civilians, need defenses against drones.

You don't need a 3d printer either, there are products you can use, from old propane cannisters, to metal pipes, as the rocket body.
