Micro-Drones - Talk About Scary

So,  I've had ocassion to write about drones before.  I just became aware of a new 'micro' type of drone that are cheap to make and are designed to function in swarms.  They can be used to observe, find and identify, and, potentially, to destroy a human target.  

The military using these things is scary enough. The next step after that, given how cheap and how easy they will surely be to produce - the next step will be for these to be available on the open market.  Slight modifications will allow your average psychopath to use them to hurt or kill, with little risk of getting caught.  Settling scores with lethal precision will be a simple matter of modifying a drone you can buy for $25 and sending it on its way.

Here is a link to a video about this new, very scary kind of drone.  Here's the link... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2281403/U-S-Air-Force-developing-terrifying-swarms-tiny-unmanned-drones-hover-crawl-kill-targets.html
