One of the first computer scientist I remember learning about a decade or more ago when I started getting into FOSS and learning how these great tools work!
Thanks for bringing those memories back.
One SD card seems to weight about 2G. Considering the pigeon could carry 30-50G (depending on source), it seems they could carry about 15TB - 25TB in one go, flying up to ~100km/hour. Not sure how that would compare to a fiber-optic connection though. But for short distances it must surely have a higher bandwidth.
Sure, but you'd need to identify the bird as a messenger bird in the first place, which is made harder by the fact that pigeons live pretty much everywhere.

Why? Dragnet censorship doesn't care about collateral damage, assume all traffic is potentially "dangerous" and shoot every bird at sight. Or just capture them and release if confirmed free of harmful information.
