The U.S. Air Force is developing tiny unmanned drones that will fly in swarms, hover like bees, crawl like spiders and even sneak up on unsuspecting targets and execute them with lethal precision.

NCOs called them Airmen Basic. They were like roaches. They were everywhere. I still have nightmares.
Oh... Even better drones that don't fornicate in dumpsters?...
That's new and improved.

Yes, and just wait until the real evil doers get their hands on them. Not that Obama is not a real evil doer.

Curiously enough, this film was released in...1984.

I forgot the movie from the late 1980’s where there were little mechanical critters that flew around and killed people.
To: Joe 6-pack
There was another one, a pilot I believe for a mercifully canceled TV show called Eyeborg, and starring Adrian Paul. I thought it was OK as pilots go.

Maybe Jerky Joe Biden is on to something - a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with birdshot should be a good deterrent against these kinds of attacks.

Maybe ‘we’ have Obozo figured wrong.
He has been practicing to shoot them down while making ‘us’ think he was shootin skeets....
