An idle thought about the alleged assassination discussion* Given

the ridiculously heavy security over OUR HOUSE during that incredibly expensive incredibly tawdry, incredibly tasteless display of vulgarity, one would have to be completely delusional to think a drone might get through. On the other hand, one would have to wonder at the incompetence of that heavy security presence if there was any possibility of a drone, armed or otherwise, actually getting through.
