There was a thread around here a few days ago about armed micro drones. What happens when you can build an autonomous assassination device and launch it from a mile away for under a thousand dollars? Soon politicians may be unable to ever appear in public or travel outdoors without their own "drone fog."

Privacy is dead also cuts both ways. Say goodbye to undercover policing.

The assassin drone concept is one people have been contemplating for some time.

Technology reduces costs. Especially attack costs.
