    When one considers the imagination of some folks, the thought of drones can really get scary. They can and could be fun and could really be useful in the future but could also be disasterous...

    I was thinking about widowmakers too, if you could fly it in the woods without hitting branches and crashing

    I'll agree with you there Dennis, the terrorism applications can be beyond imagination.

    But really, doesn't that apply to most things these days? Anything can be abused and certainly used for things other than intended. I'm sure whomever came up with the UAV's (drones) had no real intention of being able to arm them with chainsaws, firearms, or similar devices. But do a search on YouTube and you'd find many videos of people doing exactly that. This isn't just civilians but military as well.

    Yes and I'm sure the military has used for them that they don't make public.

    Except you'd better be far, far away if the drone ever loses control or snaps a rotor blade
