    A startup is putting military-style drones in high school ceilings. Ceiling-mounted. Charging. Waiting. And when something happens, a pilot in Austin, Texas, decides whether to deploy pepper gel on your kid's school. I'm not saying the problem isn't real. It absolutely is. But read that back.... in schools. We've taken a Ukrainian battlefield tactic against Russian soldiers and ported it to Deltona High School in Florida. The co-founder literally said the idea came from watching drone videos of the war in Ukraine. The chief pilot described it as "cheating in a video game after you die." These are children.

    Here's what's not in the headline:

    🔒 The drones use an encrypted connection — but the article notes they're potentially vulnerable to cyberattack. A compromised drone in a crowded hallway isn't a security tool; it's a weapon pointed in the wrong direction.

    ⚖️ Mithril reserves the right to act independently during an attack, without waiting for law enforcement. A private company operating remotely is making use-of-force decisions at a school.

    💰 Florida and Georgia approved $500K+ each for this. A group of Texas parents raised $200K more. That's real money going to ceiling drones instead of mental health services, counselors, or de-escalation programs.

    The ACLU said it plainly: when force becomes a zero-risk remote action, it gets overused. Axon tried a Taser drone for schools in 2022, and its own ethics board killed it. Mithril is picking up where that got dropped.

    I teach cybersecurity. I've spent years in boardrooms helping organizations think through risk. And the risk calculus here isn't just about whether the drone works. It's about what we're normalizing when we turn schools into drone-monitored combat zones and call it progress.

    "This is the future," said the sheriff's captain.

    I hope not.

    @brian_greenberg They will do literally anything, but solve the real, underlying issue of school shootings…

      @brian_greenberg They have created a main website it looks like.

        A lot of classrooms still have huge electronic whiteboards that cost thousands of dollars each and were never used.

          @brian_greenberg reminds me of a short Film from probably at least 10yrs ago based on a scientifically build outlook of drone usage. Was the stuff of nightmares then as well as today. Can't find the source right now though...

            @brian_greenberg @Gargron Why drones? Why don’t they just use ceiling-mounted gun turrets and remotely activated Claymore mines?

              @brian_greenberg On the weekend I watched a dramatization of a school shooting and it honestly traumatized me more than any war movie I've ever seen. Not sure this is the solution but I sure do get the motivation.

                Pepper gel sounds like a great way to create a mass chemical attack in a storm/power outage/earthquake.

                        A startup is putting military-style drones in high school ceilings. Ceiling-mounted. Charging. Waiting. And when something happens, a pilot in Austin, Texas, decides whether to deploy pepper gel on your kid's school. I'm not saying the problem isn't real. It absolutely is. But read that back.... in schools. We've taken a Ukrainian battlefield tactic against Russian soldiers and ported it to Deltona High School in Florida. The co-founder literally said the idea came from watching drone videos of the war in Ukraine. The chief pilot described it as "cheating in a video game after you die." These are children.

                        Here's what's not in the headline:

                        🔒 The drones use an encrypted connection — but the article notes they're potentially vulnerable to cyberattack. A compromised drone in a crowded hallway isn't a security tool; it's a weapon pointed in the wrong direction.

                        ⚖️ Mithril reserves the right to act independently during an attack, without waiting for law enforcement. A private company operating remotely is making use-of-force decisions at a school.

                        💰 Florida and Georgia approved $500K+ each for this. A group of Texas parents raised $200K more. That's real money going to ceiling drones instead of mental health services, counselors, or de-escalation programs.

                        The ACLU said it plainly: when force becomes a zero-risk remote action, it gets overused. Axon tried a Taser drone for schools in 2022, and its own ethics board killed it. Mithril is picking up where that got dropped.

                        I teach cybersecurity. I've spent years in boardrooms helping organizations think through risk. And the risk calculus here isn't just about whether the drone works. It's about what we're normalizing when we turn schools into drone-monitored combat zones and call it progress.

                        @brian_greenberg I thought it was bad when South Carolina’s Education Department formed a partnership last week with the #fascist group Turning Point. I will fight this tooth and nail. #uspol

                                      @nilrori @brian_greenberg these are meant to stop school shootings the same way the Fourth Crusade was meant to protect Christendom.
