This is great and all -- but errr -- if a Democrat becomes president want ALL of our enemies have this technology and just use it against us?

If we're going to build weapons lets build GIANT EXPENSIVE ones so that our enemies cannot so easily steal their concepts.

"When perfected, Fearing’s stainless steel and Mylar robot flies will be able to flap their way into the most secret places on Earth—the bunkers where Saddam Hussein plans his genocidal campaigns, and where Chinese spymasters plot their raids on America’s nuclear weapons laboratories."

I doubt it. When perfected, most of them will be flying over nude beaches and through locker rooms!!!

(photo of a fly-sized winged-vehicle the size of a paper-clip)

Well, is it fly-sized or paper clip-sized?
Jeez, I liked it a lot better when grown-ups

Good point.
It's actually the size of a paper clip, but in the shape of a fly.
