Unobtrusive. Pervasive. Lethal

MAV's micro air vehicles. AKA suicide bombers that can fly!

Remote controlled killing machines change everything! Going to war just got easy, and cheap! Does this mean more war? You bet!

Most people think aircraft when they think of remotely operated battle bots, but soon land and sea bots they will be everywhere as well. If you think that remotely controlled killing machines are frightening, just wait till the autonomous killing machines come on line!

UPDATE: "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security launched another unmanned surveillance aircraft over the Canadian border on Monday, this time in the Great Lakes area, to try to stem the flow of drugs, migrants and terrorists into the country, U.S. officials told CBC News." http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2009/06/22/drone-great-lakes022.html

Robot tanks next? You betcha! The annexation of Canada just got easier! Good job Obama!
