Subject: BS: New Meanin' for the Term 'Bugged'...
Yep, jus' when you thought that Big Brother couldn't come up with yet another way to spy on us, the next generation of spies just might be (or perhaps allready are), ahhhhh....
...bugs!!!
That's right, bugs!!!
In this morning's Washington Post there is an article entitled "Dragonfly or Insect Spy? Scientists at Work on Robobugs" by Rick Weiss...
The article talks about a couple of things... The first is implanting a silicon chip in a moth pupa and then when the moth is hatched out it will carry a small camera to take pictures of us...
Sound farfetched??? Well, hold on...
Seems that there is a prototype fake dragon fly (or moth) looking thing that is all mechanical and flies like a bug and looks like a bug but it's really a tine little spy drone??? Of course, no one in governemnt will comment on these things...
What will they think of next??? Boxes of Chereo's that climb down from the cuppord at night, come into our bedrooms and watch us sleep???
