Some kid walking with a pen in their hand, SHOOTER, SEND DRONES!!
Later that day: our new system still needs testing bs statement.
Happens a few more times and an actual shooter shows up and nothing happens,
statement: system had to be taken down for testing/maintenance (and cost cutting because AI tokens expensive af) and unfortunately during that time a shooter appeared on the premises and we were unable to do anything.
To be fair, according to the article these drones are remote piloted, not AI controlled. So they probably won't function because rent-a-cop Stu is taking a three hour long lunch break at the stripclub or passed out drunk under his desk.
