Obviously, the bug-sized spies may have good intentions in regards to spying on the enemy during war, but what about domestic use? Our government could easily use these as a way to spy on citizens of the United States and you would never know it.
Bug-Sized Spies: U.S. Develops Tiny Flying Robots:
If only we could be a fly on the wall when our enemies are plotting to attack us. Better yet, what if that fly could record voices, transmit video and even fire tiny weapons?
The next generation of drones, called Micro Aerial Vehicles, or MAVs, could be as tiny as bumblebees and capable of flying undetected into buildings, where they could photograph, record, and even attack insurgents and terrorists.
“If we could get inside the buildings and inside the rooms where their activities are unfolding, we would be able to get the kind of intelligence we need to shut them down,” said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst with the Lexington Institute in Arlington, Va.
