    Yeah, it's very possible that reports of "robospies" at political events are nothing more than propaganda or the result of blurred vision, but a number of protesters have recently been "seeing" creatures that appear to be "large dragonflies" while out exercising their rights. Some folks noted that they were akin to "little helicopters," and while "no agency admits to having deployed insect-size spy drones," there's always the possibility. As you know, it's not impossible to add spy abilities to bug-like robots and rodents, but many experts question the ability of a camera-equipped device that minuscule to collect useful information in a crowd. Regardless, this is one sure to get the privacy advocates all riled up.[Via The Raw Feed]
