Just me and my drone Israel today

Drones that carry weapons and cell phones up to prison cells in the US have already become a phenomenon • But why should only the criminal sector benefit?


This week I came across an article describing a new criminal technological phenomenon.

Drones carrying weapons, drugs, cell phones and all kinds of other products that are difficult to obtain in prisons, and for some reason are not sold there in the canteen, have been caught flying outside prisons in the US and in several other countries.

The drones, operated by outside parties who received invitations from the friendly prison residents, arrived right up to the cell window of the inviting prisoner, unloaded their wares without waiting for a tip, and - usually - returned to their base safely.

It is not clear if the orders to the prisons were made online, but if so I can offer the service the Internet name: yahoo-actions.

The harms of weapons and drugs in prison are clear, and as for the phones - it turns out that they allow the bosses of the criminal organizations to continue conducting their legitimate business completely from the prison, including surfing the Internet and trading in digital currencies.

There has always been smuggling into prisons, but drones make it possible to smuggle large, deadly goods in much larger quantities.

The prisons made sure to prevent the escape of prisoners by means of high walls, barbed wire fences and plugging holes underground and in the sewers (in our case it was less successful), but they were not prepared to protect the prison from the intrusion of aircraft from the sky, which really do not rise like a helicopter and can be operated by any child 10 years old.

Until the IAS around the world find solutions to the problem, I recognize here a great business opportunity for the Israeli defense industry, which has already neutralized and intercepted several hostile drones within Israel's borders.

It's time to sell Iron Dome and anti-ship missile systems to prisons around the world, including their operation by veterans who would be happy to travel the world a bit.

But why settle for just the side of law enforcement?

We can also offer our services and our good name to the criminal side.

Drone operators and pilots will be able to lead a flock of drones past the enemy's bars and provide the prisoners with deliveries from everything nearby - including gourmet meals through the window, alcoholic beverages, products from the duty free, or even services such as public singing evenings through a speaker that will hover in their window and play playbacks of well-known songs as he projects slides of the lyrics onto the walls of the cell so the whole wing can sing along.

It is clear that the use of drones will not amount to a contribution to the criminal sector, and will enter strongly into other areas of our lives.

Do the parents want to make sure that the kindergarten teacher treats their child well in kindergarten?

Let them fly a drone that will patrol over the playground and send them photographs that will prove that everything is fine with the child, and that he is merely feeding another child with sand cubes.

The kindergarten teacher calls to tell you that you forgot to bring the child a diaper to change and right now he smells like a gas station toilet?

Send a drone with the missing towards the garden.

Your confused child forgot his notebook in class, and even a math doctor can't calculate the time it will take you to drive to get it in traffic?

Call the guard who will send the drone's notebook with a drone.

And on this occasion, maybe the drone will also help the child with the lessons, he will surely know how to do it better than you.

A problem that may arise in the age of drones is that our children control the airplane faucets much better than we do, and it would be a bit unpleasant if a father had to ask his 8-year-old son to help him operate the drone, so that he could get him the medicine for joint pain from the pharmacy.

But as we learned from the worlds of the smartphone, if you give us a little time - we too will learn to operate the new toy, and in the meantime, it's nice that now the children are the ones who will take responsibility for all transportation and transportation in the family and take the burden off the parents.

The drones will be able to bring groceries from the supermarket, pick up dry cleaning from the laundromat, and maybe even withdraw money from the ATM.

You just have to make sure that the drone doesn't give the secret number to passers-by or the bills will blow away in the wind.

I'm not making anything up when I talk about drones that will bring food deliveries from the supermarket and restaurants to customers' homes, and make Walt's scooter messengers look as up-to-date as carriage drivers.

Amazon started working on it, but I'm not sure they've figured out yet how to make sure that a delivery of hot soup doesn't turn into a rain of Kneidlech on the heads of innocent bystanders.

On top of that, it is not certain if they have already found a solution to the scenario where a delivery from a deli will be attacked in the air by hungry crows, or if a wild goose will discover its cousin lying in a bag in a delivery from the "Oozy" restaurant and will want revenge.

In general, with the increase in the aerial trend, the birds and bats may be surprised by the invasion of the winged members of the motorized family into their space.

On the other hand, maybe now they will understand how the residents of Haifa feel about the wild boars taking over the city.

If I were a farmer who suffered from birds that ate from his trees, or fishmongers who turned his fish ponds into buffets - I would invent a scarecrow drone (called a scarecrow or scarecrow), which would be, for example, a drone in the shape of an eagle or in the shape of a flying wolf, and drive away all the other birds.

You just have to pay attention that after a certain period the pusher will not become a protected bird by himself, and will also have the backing of the aerospace industry workers' council who will claim that since he is equipped with artificial intelligence - he deserves tenure, a salary increase and an annual vacation wherever he chooses to fly to, without his battery running out.

Another area that drones can upgrade is the voyeur branch, and there is no doubt that perverts and stalkers who until today had to risk their lives climbing gutters - will now be able to sit on the balcony with half a watermelon and send the drone on a secret mission in the neighboring hinterland.

This will of course open up another industry, of address books of celebrities who may be attractive targets for a peek and will be defined as "drone worthy".


It is hoped that in the not too distant future drones will be able to take the dog out for us to do in the garden, and will also pick up the poop after it and fly it to the trash.

The drone will stand in our place in line at the Ministry of the Interior and pick up a passport from a designated window (it's just important to make sure that it doesn't take our place for the passport photo), and the elderly will have a Filipino drone that will take them for a walk in the public garden, push the wheelchair and take care of their medicine.

A particularly sophisticated drone will also be able to hang laundry, and if you don't have a balcony you can invest in two drones that will hold clotheslines taut in the sky, without the need for a balcony.

At a certain age, all children love to have their parents hold their hands and do the exercise known as "the airing", but since parents tend to enjoy the exercise a little less - or at least feel that they have exhausted it starting with the second child - from now on they will be able to tie the child to a pair of drones that will take him to an almost real airing .

The new mode will greatly reduce the use of cars, but may create traffic jams in the sky.

This would require designated lanes for drones, toll roads for speeders, aerial policing, speed cameras for unwary drones and owl checks, which would require each group of drones to choose a pilot drone.

After several air accidents, including wing injuries, the field will have to be regulated, people will have to get a license to fly a drone, and I also envision points and courses for driven flying.

There will of course also be an industry of garages for repairs and bodywork and insurance, and charlatans who will explain to you that the chalk has gone and that with me everything is parts from the original manufacturer, which is Moti's jungle toy store.

It won't be long before people will flaunt BMW, Maserati, and Lexus brand drones, and four-by-four drones that can fly even in rain, snow, and mud.

You still need to understand what to do in the event of an accident, and how the drones are supposed to stand aside and exchange insurance details.

The necessary issue of curses on the road can be solved by the two drone operators who got into a conflict on the road, being able to send curses to each other in voice messages on WhatsApp, plus a triangular finger emoji.

Pleasant gliding.
