NPR: Trump wants a Golden Dome over America. Here's what it would take

18. Have you watched The Purge?

In that wonderful piece of dystopian cinema, James Sandin had gotten rich building and selling security systems that keep murderers out of your house on the one night a year you can run around killing anyone you want without repercussions. When Purgers - both regular ones trying to kill a homeless man they were harboring (the real intent of The Purge is to let people kill off all the homeless) and the Sandins’ neighbors who were pissed off that James got rich selling them things they wanted - started working hard to get into the Sandin home, James finally had to tell his family the system didn’t work against all attacks and that a vicious-enough attack would get through.

The same situation will happen in any SDI scheme like the one Trump is cooking up.
