You and yours may be sick but, my part of the country is just fine, thank you!

Cool. Do you think I can get one to follow my 16 year old daughter while she's out on a date.

I want one. No, really.

Maybe at the next protest I should be selling Spy Swatters.

{Mara Verheyden-Hilliard of the Partnership for Civil Justice said her group is investigating witness reports and has filed Freedom of Information Act requests with several federal agencies. If such devices are being used to spy on political activists, she said, "it would be a significant violation of people's civil rights."}
Don't hold your breath waiting for an honest reply to the FOIA inquiry.

While creepy, Im not sure how it would be a violation of people's civil rights if they are out in a public square. Is it just because the gov't is doing it? Because I can go out and photograph or film protests all day as an individual.

Yes, you can photograph protests all day, and so can the government. So why would they need a device like this (if they truly exist?) Why is that kind of size and mobility needed, aside from the obvious secrecy? Maybe they can collect different kind of information (other than photographic), and maybe they can land on your shoulder and go home with you. Then maybe they can buzz around your house... All that would be a violation. Ugh, now that we're at it, what if it could bite you, extract you DNA, and fly off all before you're able to swat it?
