I guess we have all seen all those wonderful toys coming from China. Technologies unimaginable a few years ago, like quadricopters and microminiature concealed cameras. It looks like the US Military is taking notice.

Yup, it looks like the-powers-that-be are realizing their cats are getting out of the bag...
