The reality of micro-drones

We are now several years on the way since the discussion about insect-sized micro-drones first started.

Vanessa Alarcon, a college student attended an anti-war protest back in 2007 when she suddenly heard someone shout “Hey! Look at that!” 

She lifted her head up and couldn't believe what she saw: An insect-like helicopter flying around like it was surveying the crowds. Not much larger then a piece of candy and almost soundless.

Anonymous sources withing the CIA later confirmed the existence of micro-drones, used for “internal security purposes” by a handful of elite US-agencies. 

Almost six years down the line we’re learning that these micro-drones have become even smaller and more sophisticated. And the scary part is, it is most probable that you and I have already been watched many times by these micro-drones without even noticing. And it gets more scary, we are even told by experts that the US-government is now in possession of micro-drones that are even able to secretly take DNA samples from object (people) in a similar way like mosquito's take our blood.

Such a device could be controlled from a great distance and is equipped with a camera, microphone. It could land on you and then use its needle to take a DNA sample with the pain of a mosquito bite. Or it could inject a micro RFID tracking device under your skin.It could land on you and stay, so that you take it with you into your home. Or it could fly into a building through a window. There are well-funded research projects working on such devices with such capabilities.

And if you thought the US is the only nation to use this technology...think again. We know that at least Russia, China, South Korea, Japan and Germany are using these micro-drones either actively or in testing enviroments.
