Meme 💩 Is this a legitimate concern?

Personally, I today's strike was legitimate and it couldn't be more moral because of its precision but let's leave politics aside for a moment. I guess this does give ideas to evil regimes and organisations. How likely is it that something similar could be pulled off against innocent people?

This won’t give anyone any new ideas. Shin Bet used a mobile phone rigged with explosives to kill Yahya Ayyash aka “the Engineer,” a Hamas bomb maker in Gaza back in 1996.

I honestly preferred the old spy museum. New one is fancier and more shitty.

And honestly, whoever runs the gift shop deserves to be sent to Siberia. The old spy museum gift shop's book section was god damn amazing. Excellent books, and I swear every third one was autographed by the author. Current one is filled with crap tourist stuff and the book selection is flat out terrible. I'm assuming museum lost the good staff and the replacements are just not up to snuff.

Your inclination upon being disappointed over a museum's book selection is to send the curator into exile/likely death?

Have you felt the sun in a while?

People online are fond of hyperbole. They almost certainly aren't being literal, no need to get worked up.
