Pentagon to Fund Death Blimp
This new venture by the Pentagon should be filed in the “wasn’t this a terrible idea 60 years ago?” bin.
As pleasing as the idea of Orwellian surveillance blimps are, I just can’t imagine there won’t be some absurdly cheap way to thwart them. Like an industrial-sized dartgun that can reach 70,000 ft.
To quote Wallace Shawn, Hey DARPA, why don’t you give me half the money you were going to spend, we’ll go outside, I’ll kick you in the nuts, and we’ll call it a day!
