Well the REAL drones we need to worry about aren't getting nearly enough attention, and I've been trying to explain for a while. The real menaces are not the big predator or reaper drones, there Micro Drones.
www.dailymail.co.uk...
Article shows a picture of what I'm talking about. These drones are no bigger than a common house fly. You would have no way of knowing they are even there. Yet they can fly into your house, sit on a wall and watch and listen to anything going on.
As the article states, in 2007, these insect drones were deployed to spy on anti-war protesters in America. And they have also been used at nuclear facilities in Iran.
Maybe I'm paranoid but a tiny mosquito drone seems like it has the potential to do far more to erode privacy than a big predator drone.
Just image if police used these drones instead of "informants" and such. The possibilities are endless.
The most famous case of ricin poisoning was the 1978 assassination of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, who was killed James Bond-style by a poke from an umbrella rigged to inject him with a tiny pellet of the toxin. Naturally there's no antidote.

The REAL goal is to make them small enough that the drones could enter your blood stream.
It's all part of the push for nano technology. Swallow a pill containing a million tiny robots.....

Look at that thing. The perfect spy.
Reminds me of the one from the second transformer movie.
I can't wait to buy some and control them from my iPhone 8.
And something tells me that tech is out and in use.
