What are the odds that this technology will be for something cool and useful, instead of the military, police, and government using them for their own *ahem* needs?
If enemy is spotted these could be extremely useful. Lets say snipers or a group laying an IED are spotted by a military drone. The Military Drone could drop a few guided anti micro anti-personnel aircraft. These micro drones lock onto target or targets for a silent stealth attack armed with lethal force or a non lethal identifying spray (traceable marker) which could lead soldiers back to his base, armaments stash or compatriot enemy soldiers. Rather than melting into the community, enemy soldiers could be picked up later at a checkpoint, arrested and questioned.
Thanks Tingoes... but you kinda missed the comic sarcasm, and the picture from Dune where Paul Atreides is staring down a small hovering hunter/seeker drone full of poison.
The Taliban is a narco state producing opium which is a form of poison, and an act of war on whomever and wherever it ends up.
I was watching a documentry on Afghanistan last night.
The drones were videoing the enemy snipers and Taliban laying IEDs in areas out of firing range.
There was no air support available.
The Officer in charge complained that after the battle the Taliban melted into the local population.
The video I had in my post shows a means of delivery of lightweight technology, used by corporate America, that could be used by this lightweight drone technology to identify the enemy from the general population.

... is a commercial for lightweight PONY shoes as a corporate sponser of Hip Hop International. So you're saying we have people, drones if you will, hip-hop on over to dance with the enemy wearing PONY shoes?
Dude that's brilliant! So later we can know the Taliban from the general population by their backwards baseball caps and bling.

I'm glad I read your post, it made me click back on his video. Between that video and this pic, I'd say my day has been a success. And it's only 9:00am.

That's wrong. "The cat" is correct. Saying "my favorite animal is a cat" indicates you have a specific individual creature you favor above all others, and it happens to be a cat; using "the" indicates you prefer cats, generally, over all other animals.
