Insect Spy Drone........

A pal sent me this email........
Have you ever wished you could be a fly on the wall to spy on what's going on or being said? How about being a mosquito instead!
No, this isn't a real mosquito. It's an insect spy drone for urban areas, already in production, funded by the US Government.
It can be remotely controlled and is equipped with a camera and a microphone.
It can land on you, and even has the potential to take a DNA sample or leave RFID tracking nanotechnology on your skin.
It can fly through a slightly open window, or it can attach to your clothing until you unwittingly take it into your home. It can then be guided to the top of a curtain or other invisible location where it can scope entire rooms and monitor everything being said.
Given their propensity to request macro-sized drones for surveillance, one is left with little doubt that the government has big
plans for these micro gadgets.
(And to think we were worried about West Nile virus!)
Can it be real? :scratch: :smart:

That can't be real... yet.

David,
Back in 2005-6, the U.S. Department of Defense issued a press release (with video) of a dragonfly sized surveillance drone. I was working at the time in a DoD backed R&D lab and one of the magazines we had there had the article on it as well as the link to the video.

I swatted a bug the other day with one of those electrified bug swatters and there was a hell of a bang; I wonder if I inadvertently clocked one?

Seems you might have, Mick! :bugeye:
Were you doing anything worth watching?
