    To play devils advocate, I could imagine Border Patrol failing to ID the cartel using jetpacks seeing as how it’s such a new consumer accessible tech.

    Still hard to wrap my mind around the fact that actual jetpacks are a reality if you’ve got the money. Always said I’d hoped I’d live to see flying cars, real VR, and jetpacks in my lifetime when I was a kid. Didn’t expect that to be a reality by my early 30s!

      True. That is a bizarre development that I wouldn’t expect to be accounted for.

      There are a lot of futuristic fantasies from my youth coming true, even if not the most practical or accessible. Though, as cool as the jetpacks probably are, I’ll stick to the safety of my VR.

        Yeah I don’t think I’d ride in one of those either… wouldn’t want to end up flying like a brick at low altitude if something failed.
