The Berkeley team is one of about a dozen groups of engineers and biologists who are exploring the final frontier of flight: micro air vehicles (MAVs). By merging the aerodynamics of insects with GPS navigation and molecular electronics, they hope to initially create an arsenal of tiny reconnaissance tools. When perfected, Fearing’s stainless steel and Mylar robot flies will be able to flap their way into the most secret places on Earth—the bunkers where Saddam Hussein planned his genocidal campaigns, and where Chinese spymasters plot their raids on America’s nuclear weapons laboratories.
What do you think about this emerging technology?

This is inevitable. It is time to get as much accountability from our Governments as possible before the opportunity is gone forever.

For a long time I have thought that it was hopeless for the American people ever to see freedom and liberty again, but now I can see light at the end of a dark tunnel. We have a virtual police state. The FBI,DEA,BATF, FEMA, NSA, National Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, all at the disposal of the Government to be used against all enemies of the Government. The People no longer have recourse to the overthrow of our constitution. But now if the people had armies of these tiny robots, they could become the protector and guarantor for the American people and the United States Constitution that guanantees the Freedoms and liberties that our forefathers had us given as a prize and award for the Revolution of 1776 and the finalizing of the Constitution and the Bill of rights. The Globalization and the Union of North America is coming whether we like it or not. At this very moment our congress has a rating of about 9% favoritism for doing nothing for the American people. The shadow government is continuing to little by little globalize the USA. without the consent of the American people. Soon the Good old American Dollar will be worthless and the Amero will be the new monetary unit worth pennies on the dollar, but as long as the Federal Reserve Bank is the money factory it can print all of the money they want for themselves at the expense of the American people. You have no defense. Bush will have completed his part of Globalization and now the next part is ready to be implemented. This present collapse was obviously planned through out sourcing our jobs for beginners. NAFTA, and the North American Union will be the end result. Get Smart people and look at this present world. The European Union is almost complete and the people dont like it and they cannot do anything to combat it. Brussels is the center of government now. Bush has proven that as president he was in fact a dictator and congress gave him a blank approval to do as he seen fit to destroy us as a nation. Bush set many precedences.Now he leaves so that Obama can complete the job. Obama's wife said she supports her husbands efforts to world domination and that appears to be the final solution. But the President under a world union will be no better than a state governor and will have little power to combat any economic differences. Mainland Europe has little or no natural resources and will rely on other continents for their economies at the approval of the central leaders who just may remain in Brussels. There are so many who have tried to tell the American people just what is happening and they are ridiculed and called conspiracy theorists. Well if you dont listen to these conspiracy theorists you will become slaves in a tenth world nation with no freedoms to live for.

"Saddam Hussein planned his genocidal campaigns" with US funding! We didn't need insect spycams because he reported to us directly!
"Chinese spymasters plot their raids on America’s nuclear weapons laboratories."
Clinton already gave them everything they need to know, and they're probably ahead of us by now.Who the hell writes this crap!
Anyway, the bugs are scary.

It should have to say "when this technology is perfected, we can use it against US citizens who steal MP3 and masturbate to bad porn"

Or for £50 you can buy ten and spy on that special someone.
"and were Chinese spymasters plot their raids on America’s nuclear weapons laboratories"
What the hell is this propaganda?I hope other countries such as Venezuela get this technology and use it against those who would wish to bring down the country for resources. And any other such country.

TravG73 has got a point since the main advantage to that tech is stealth.
The usefulness has a limited time because once the capabilities become known a defense will be developed canceling out its effectiveness.

I do admire the advances and capabilities of technology, but this type of recon work turns into a weapons operation very quickly. Swarms of electronics kinda freak me out!
