    Nanobot and micro drone warfare against civilians is now a possibility.

    We gotta hurry up and finish our book. We thought this up a year and a half ago and used it as background in the story.

    Mini-nukes and mosquito-like robot weapons being primed for future warfare


    Several countries are developing nanoweapons that could unleash attacks using mini-nuclear bombs and insect-like lethal robots.

    While it may be the stuff of science fiction today, the advancement of nanotechnology in the coming years will make it a bigger threat to humanity than conventional nuclear weapons, according to an expert. The U.S., Russia and China are believed to be investing billions on nanoweapons research.

    "Nanobots are the real concern about wiping out humanity because they can be weapons of mass destruction," said Louis Del Monte, a Minnesota-based physicist and futurist. He's the author of a just released book entitled "Nanoweapons: A Growing Threat To Humanity."

    When out walking, look out for PROBlems. You know: maskless Plague Rats On Bicycles who blow past you without giving you time to get out of the way.

    Ah, CONServatives, the Masters of Projection (MOPs). With CONServatives, every accusation is a confession. Weird, that.

    There is an answer... the only possible answer: more drones. More drones, owned by everybody. Computerized personal protection drones that will kamikaze an attacking drone. Eventually, weaponized drones that can "stand their ground and hit back." It's actually a bit more nuanced than that, but the concept is quite similar to the justifications for CC and "no entry restrictions" into, for example, courtrooms.

    In the Old West, it is said, God made men, but Sam Colt made them equal. Either we bottle the genie - which will NOT work - or we allow citizens/civilians to obtain and deploy their own clouds of defense drones.

    Why yes, there will be many unpleasant situations.

    In the New America, God will (perhaps) make men, but (also perhaps) some soon-to-be-richer-than-Croesus drone manufacturing corporations will make them equal.

    Understand that (after initial introduction) these things would become cheaper than dirt. Same price curve, probably, as desktop PCs went through.

    Nuclear drones certainly seem to be coming, weve been using drones in the middle east for some time to supposedly make surgical hits.

    Its only reasonable to believe they will get more and more powerful. <scarey>
