You don't think that they are not already using them??
BUT some 'innocent-looking-dick-wad' with a pipe-bomb stuck up his sweater, that he explodes as 'he just walks by', is NOT an easy target for this kind of detection/weaponry....
It then comes down to gut-instinct....

Probably good for the peeping toms too!

Did find out that Parrot AR.Drone has a open API platform. So it could be a bit more than funny toy/AR enable game. I don't expect it to evolve to something like the drone in the opening post...

I predict a new "sport": Synchronized AR.Drone Flying where a teams of pilots put on competitive performances of synchronized maneuvers choreographed to music. (Each pilot on a team would have to 'fly' an individual drone --- not just have an app that flies them all from one controller). I think such displays of skill would be very popular.

I wish there where some other remote control platforms for AR.Drone than iphone/pod/...
