Investigators looking into the Christmas morning explosion in Nashville now believe the blast was likely the result of a suicide bombing, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.
Sound very plausible to me. The thing just seems a bit "polished" or high-production value. The bomb definitely worked very well, and there was the whole computerized voice countdown over loudspeakers. Someone really thought this through and was likely planning it for a long time.
Tim McVeigh did it. Anders Breivik did it. Every two-bit group in Iraq and Syria can do it. It's frankly a surprise how rarely it happens in most places.
think of them as “ground drones” and suddenly it makes a lot of sense
does it? aerial drones are proliferate and the only folks using them for bombs are doing so in war torn areas (and the vast majority of those aren't exactly available to consumers)
Car bombs were the assassination tool of choice for a long time (still are, maybe?), and aerial drones are now the carpet-bombing assassination tool of choice for the empire, but much less so for non-state actors since it's not exactly easy to get your hands on a raytheon/boeing/whoever drone no matter how long an individual spends planning. Just like it won't be easy to get your hands on a northrop ground drone.

huh? car bombs have been going off without killing the bomber for a long time, no robot driver needed

yeah the proliferation of street-facing cameras in the anglosphere has thrown a wrench for sure
the other two clearly mitigate risks but idk that the mitigation will provide the breaking point that leads to a ton of self-driving car bombings

I mean I'm just nitpicking 'a lot more often'.
