> Next thing will be assassinating people with their own phone by causing it to blow up next to their head
I don't know if this was an intentional reference or not, but that has definitely already been done (with a rigged phone). Plus the widespread use of phone position data for targeting.

The problem is that violence works against everything except more violence.
Even then, violence works in that it decides a winner - one way or another.
It’s not like Japan or Germany were going to wave a white flag just because someone finally convinced them they were wrong.
