Scientific American says you should be very very afraid of drones...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is funding research on
“micro-drones” that resemble moths, hummingbirds and other small flying
creatures and hence can “hide in plain sight,” as one Air Force
researcher told me. The Air Force is now testing micro-drones at
facilities such as the “micro-aviary” at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
in Dayton, Ohio.
*These micro-drones could be armed. The Air Force has produced an extrordinarily creepy animated video extolling
possible applications of “Micro Air Vehicles,” which a narrator extols
as “unobtrusive, pervasive, lethal.” The video shows winged drones
swarming out of the belly of a plane and descending on a city, where the
drones stalk and kill a suspect.

Power corrupts....absolute power corrupts absolutely

They are creating a LOT of jobs though....

I guess I need to be a little more careful what I catch in my butterfly net.....

... and mouth breathing.

I had to go back and read it again---a moth---so if we see 2 moths fighting then we know what is going on This is crazy a moth , and most police officers want this -- close your windows tight that next bug you may see trying to get it could be a drone--I will just step on it

This time you're giving us a heads up on something that really does matter.
The potential scenarios with this shit rival anything that's been done with science fiction. Including the ones which have technology putting us into a full-out police state.
Me no like it. At all. That's WAY too much power and control in the hands of the "authorities".
