I sometimes wonder if these sorts of stunts could be staged (by authorities, or weird-o's) to shine a light on a suspected problem. Like the government dude crashing onto the white house lawn. Seems too convenient a place to crash.
Would someone really be willing to send a $500-1000 drone with $500+ in drugs and a phone into a prison with an extremely slight chance of getting it to the correct inmate?
I know it sounds far fetched, but people in Prison, well let me say a few of them are intelligent and have contacts outside of Prison all the time. This is not the first time this has been tried by prisoners and outside people. Will it be the last? NO. We are just seeing the tip of the iceburg here,much more things to come and in different crime related moves. I also don't think they are AMA Members!!!!!!!!!!!
