Wow a tree and wall climbing robot....the perfect intel gathering platform

[MazeRat7]

Once again I find a piece of new technology that is ripe for abuse. In this case its a robot that can scale various surfaces. Couple this with a mini-cam, laser audio transducer, and of course a microwave transmitter and you have the perfect platform for gathering intel....

Here is the video link of this thing, which I might add is totally cool.

So next time you are wondering when all the spying will stop, remember that technology always has been and always will be more advanced than the appropriate policies and/or laws needed to regulate it.

That should be our mantra... "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should"....

of creepy crawly spliced in.
