Why do I get the feeling... that this is just the precursor to Aerial RoboCop-type attack drones (like in the movie Oblivion) for civilian surveillance. The military already uses attack drones for lethal warfare purposes. And I’m betting those can be hacked and used by nefarious entities.
This “Brave New World” just keeps getting more brave every day...while conversely, the people get more afraid. This is, apparently, our future.
