I can’t see how are they going to use this thing in a hostage situation with a barricaded subject. These acts occur almost universally inside a building. They use a sniper and spotter, or several of them, to watch the scene. This sounds like it will be put to other uses.

This article illustrates the lowly state of journalism. It does not explain “why” they are putting drones in the Everglades.

Wait until it starts patroling the neighborhoods. Imagine sitting outside with a cup of coffee, minding your own business, and one of those things hovers to observe your activity. Nothing about this is right. Orwellian indeed!

"The CIA acknowledges that it developed a dragonfly-sized UAV known as the "Insectohopter" for laser-guided spy operations as long ago as the 1970s."

Interesting, there is only one Google search result for "insectohopper".
