Unlike the late 18th century - how many of us have our windows and doors open all day? How many of us ride around on/in open conveyances, ie: horseback or carriages. We're all bottled up in our air conditioned enclosures.
Just try to have a rally on your block. See how long before the cops show up. And we don't even HAVE drones up in most areas - yet.
