    Cheap gps enabled drones are very plentiful on the internet. You don’t need to 3d print anything except maybe the parts to hold the bomb. Just need to reprogram them to have them go to a fixed point and trigger a relay with an explosive. It’s trivial, and the fact that it is not common for most people with the skills to do it is because they have a lot to lose if they are caught. Once you take away enough rights and liberties that smart techy people have nothing left to lose then you will see more remote drone attacks.

    This is the reason the federal government has been trying to ban drone companies like DJI, they are afraid of the cheap throw away bomb delivery vehicles.

      Buying the Drone leads to easier tracing. They can investigate anyone who bought any Drone for a certain amount of time. But printing one of your own and having far less traceable electronic components makes that job much harder.

        Like I said, “nothing to lose” sure they may be able to trace it but by then they are fighting for their life against all odds. Also they could have a “freedom fighter team” where they buy the drones 2nd hand, in bulk, illegally, or just steal them. This would not be a covert operation, it would be a rebel force.

      Given the safety record, you could probably drive by and throw a ballpeen hammer at them

      2 am high-speed Molotov cocktail?

      There are plenty of low tech solutions to some problems.
