Fly on the Wall!
mosssie.jpgHave 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.
We also learned that the government's long-term objective is to have drones the size of dust particles!

Re: Fly on the Wall!
Wondered why the mosquito repellent wasnt working. Are the Russian ones red in colour. See the NZ PM has denied big brother is reading their Emails. A lot of us here will have to keep a sharp lookout now, as if the kiwis are doing it must have got the idea from Oz, as no doubt we are being monitered to see which way we are liable to vote. Cheers JS

#2 Marian - He's there for the ride, not the delivery. I bet there is some overseas real estate pamphlets in his kit in case it all goes pear shape when he is exposed for what he is.
# 5 - Of course our ladies know, they put there in the first place.
And - I wonder if that little drone was chosen for a reason. e instead of ito ?
