There was a near mid-air collision at LAX today at around 11AM.
There is a severe shortage of ATC in the US. Remember when Reagan fired all the striking ATCs in the 1980s and replaced them with new ones? The new ones are all retiring and there are not enough replacements which means that the remaining ones are all overworked and exhausted.
There has always been a theoretical fear of someone loading up a Cessna with TNT and low-flying that into the oval. When civilian GPS first came about, they had to fuzz certain locations to make this less attractive. So far no one has tried with small automated planes.
These airspaces are controlled by the Air Force tho who would probably notice and implement countermeasures.
Do you remember when a swarm of automated drones were released from a lorry outside a russian air field and destroyed or damaged 10s of Russian bombers? That was pretty freaking cool. Not really related to anything in this thread in particular, but every now and then I enjoy reminiscing.

Does this mean someone could theoretically fly a plane unimpeded to a location that could fix a ton of political problems in sonic the hedgehog?

That is a very cool story and I like it, even if it’s got nothing to do with this at all, the things they can do now.
