Anyone else think of those flying camera things in Half Life 2??? The ones that fly around and alert the bad guys of your presence. I didn't RTFL, but I get the feeling this technology could be used for more than just recording criminals. I'm sure it could be used to track people and their actions. I realize I'm stepping into major tinfoil hat territory here, but I think it's worth noting that "this is where it starts".
