The Internet Replaced Proximity

Locking the Digital Front Door

The intelligence

Federal filings in the June 2025 Minnesota legislator shootings describe notebooks recovered from the suspect's vehicle, including a list of people-search websites. This brief uses that case to revisit a familiar argument about residential exposure, asking which variable actually matters and what address removal can honestly claim. Built from the filings as reported, a Secret Service study of mass attacks, residence-to-crime research and the Daniel Anderl Act. For principals and family offices weighing data-layer work against physical security spending.

The Airspace You Cannot Defend

You Are Not Allowed to Stop It

Mass production of small attack drones abroad has made them cheap and proven against civilians. This brief asks why a private household in the United States cannot lawfully use the counter-drone tools that work on a battlefield, which statutes reserve them to federal agencies, and what protection remains within the law for a residence. Built from a UN inquiry, Ukrainian government statements and federal law. For family offices protecting homes.

The coordinates and the delivery: finding is for sale, delivery is spreading

The Drone Needs Your Address First

Two threats once tracked separately, the commercial market in location data and the cheap drone that can cover the last stretch to a door, have each gained documented precedents. This brief asks how far those precedents now connect, including a military command's written report to Congress, and where the record still stops short of an attack on a private American home. Built from congressional correspondence, investigative reporting and court records. For family offices.

The plan arrived before the drone: an attack aimed at the response

The Plan Arrived Before the Drone

A charged plot against a sporting event at the White House in June 2026 was first read as a domestic drone attack arriving on schedule. This brief reads the federal filings as a design rather than a capability, asking what an attack aimed at a crowd's evacuation means for protective planning and how much of the plan existed beyond chat messages. Built from court filings and reporting. For security leads planning events and venues.

The Distance Did Not Protect the House

A Stranger Found the Door

In April 2026 a Texas man was charged with throwing an incendiary device at the San Francisco home of OpenAI's chief executive, far from where he lived. This brief reads the charging record for what it establishes about how the residence was found, what it leaves unexplained, and what that gap means for protective planning. Built from the federal affidavit, the Justice Department's announcement and the state charges. For principals and security leads weighing what distance is worth.
