The author seems like a total dick, but given the recent fear/rumor of the possibility of a false flag attacks on U.S. soil, I feel like something like this isn’t inconceivable.

Yes, indeed. Can you buy or build a drone in the US? No problem. Can you get explosives or other nasty stuff to arm it? No issue for a determined group. Can you find an undefended soft target? Of course, there is a smorgasboard of those.
One person making a drone is far different from China staging an attack.
It isn’t hard to make a drone. I have confidence that I could do it, and I’ve never tried. They are available off the shelf, and nobody will bat an eye if that becomes my hobby - just keep a few around and ready to fly with cameras and post photos of my various outings and I look just like any of dozens of other people I know who have drones.
I would need a place to test my first attempts, but it isn’t hard to find a farmer’s field in winter where nobody will see what I’m doing. Which is to say I couldn’t stage such an attack today, but I could next year.
Nobody bats an eye when you buy ONE drone. Buy 100 and people will ask questions.
It only needs one right drone with the right payload at the right place and time…
