    Bug spray won't kill this drone



    "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 for all you who automatically say "fake" because you don't think your government is funding this..."
    Do some research.

    So where was this technology 20 years ago when that cute model was living in the building across the street from me?

    Did you try the old fashioned way, like inviting her up to see your etchings? Or, are you a committed voyeur?

    Well, yes, I tried inviting her to see my etchings but I didn't think she heard me because she was too busy laughing hysterically

    I wanted to try a new tactic but chloroform was hard to find back then....

    No it wasn't, it's called alcohol.

    Try your wit out on this. Exactly what a fly sees about to be spanked. No wonder they always get away.

    So seemingly this thread has morphed from an OP on electronic bugs to our own bug, neither of which can be killed by flyspray; and all within 12 posts and without BR's help.


    We've also established he's cheap and can't even pull the girl next door.

    It was kinda tempting to stay out of this one.

    I mean electronic bugs flying around could turn out to be infinitely more stimulating to the brain than what the Repub and Dem conventions turned out to be.

    But I promised myself when I woke up this morning that I was going to hijack a thread started by JAD and make you help me without your consent.

    Not just any girl next door but a cute model next door.

    There is a huge amount of difference there.
