Right now, what spooks you more:

That a person with a gun is coming to kill you

Or there are tiny machines floating outside your windows, in your vents, on your ceiling, ready to stab you with an undetectable poison the instant someone far away pushes a button..

Which do you think you have a better chance of spotting and defending against?

Do you imagine that having these tiny machines deployed, maintained, and ready to go in disparate locations around the world is any easier than today where we have larger machines deployed, maintained, ready to go, but in fixed locations under tight control? I am more fearful of a missile silo, personally.

The answer is both are terrifying. If someone with a gun wants you dead, you die. I see no particular reason drones should be more terrifying than the other.

I'm picturing someone having trouble deciding who is the underdog in the original Terminator movie.
