I love consumer drones for videography and recreation, but you knew there was a dark side to all this:
Sophisticated Drones That Can be Used in War or Civil Unrest
This system has an interesting Latin name – Lanius. The noun version translates into English as – BUTCHER. Coincidence?
Naturally, like with any other weapon or capability, new counter-drone tech is always being developed, as are counteremeasures to the countermeasures.
Get yourself a personal anti drone eagle (best if trained from hatchling)
Both sides in the Ukraine conflict are using anti drone tech of various types:
Not everyone can afford one of these
But HOW will you deal with drones that don’t look like drones?
Or Swarms of drones?
How do you defend yourself from swarms of AI drones with active face recognition that can recognize and take you out on sight with a 3-gram shaped charge to the head, along with any other “enemy of the state”?
In a dystopian world a new form of A.I. weaponry has been created. All these drone bots need is a profile: age, sex, fitness, uniform, and ethnicity. Nuclear is obsolete. Take out your entire enemy virtually risk free. Just characterize him, release the swarm, and the rest is easy.
TAKE 5 MINUTES AND WATCH!
WHO will control all of this?
OPERRATION ACOUSTIC KITTY (Ok, I've got dibs on the name for my new grunge band)
The Central Intelligence Agency has a long history of spying on Americans. People think of the old Soviet Union or North Korea as examples of extreme government surveillance measures, but it happens right here in the Land of the Free. A reader wrote in about this topic, and I can confirm it is not a conspiracy theory. Operation Acoustic Kitty was launched by the CIA in the 1960s to spy on the Kremlin and Soviet embassies in the US. They implanted surveillance technology into seemingly stray cats to listen in on conversations.
The CIA spent $20 million on this program before abandoning it entirely in 1967. It should not have taken $20 million to realize cats are too independent to be trained spies.

Thank you for reminding people about this!! What about when the drones can find you via the microchip in your hand? Do not microchip your kids (or yourself).
