Then you just switch to internal navigation and let the drone go fully autonomous. A smuggler could launch the drone anywhere within the drone's flight range, from a moving vehicle, whatever.

This is a race that the guards aren't going to win. Of course, it's not like anyone's ever been able to stop contraband getting into a prison anyway.

Just because occupations have popped up to replace these lost jobs in the past doesn't mean that they will in the future.

Any job that can be done by a machine should be done by a machine. The upshot of labor-saving technology is lower costs of whatever goods or services are produced.

I see no reason to eschew technology because of your fear of your impending incompetence.

Krugman actually doesn't prove himself wrong at "every opportunity",

He called for a housing bubble as a remedy for the dot com bubble. He said that the internet would have no more impact than the fax machine. I could go on, but the point is proven.

Your top "thinkers" maintain that it is foolish to pay attention to mere evidence

Evidence abounds to support free markets. If you're too stupid to see it, that's your own problem.

a former libertarian

Bullshit. You were never a libertarian.
