This is a cut-n-paste from an email i received from a lawyer friend of mine this morning that I thought many of you would find of interest:

Can you believe this????! That is really scary!
But Snopes says although it is in the development stage it is not a reality yet.....interesting to say the least.....
This Is Not A Mosquito!! Look closely....................
Is this a mosquito? No. 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 it may have the potential to take a DNA sample or leave RFID tracking nanotechnology on your skin. It can fly through an open window, or it can attach to your clothing until you take it in your home. Given their propensity to request macro-sized drones for surveillance, one is left with little doubt that police and military may look into these gadgets next. (And to think we were worried about West Nile virus!) And now you know why our government has requested the law be changed to allow drone surveillance in the United States.
