If You Line Your Windows With Tinfoil

You may not be entirely crazy.

The next fad in surveillance technology is "surveillance blimps".

This shit is starting to get a little too creepy.

I wonder what the going rate is for a nice laser pointer in the 500W range.....

UPDATE: About a kilobuck (or AMU) per watt, it seems. Waaay too rich for my blood.

Do I detect a subtle "Terminator" reference? Be careful, they're watching...

Though I do have to say, I basically agree. Did you notice that the 60th anniversary of the first publication of 1984 was a couple of days ago?

Yow. What our masters won't think of next. This is my favorite part:

Raytheon says local authorities could install a built-in LED screen to attract sponsors, generate revenue and defer operating costs.

I think I've seen that before. Blade Runner

Lockwood, you do.

Sarah, you have. Truth does follow fiction.

I kid you not, last winter a friend and I were at the cemetery visiting my mom's site, and one of those white blimps was hovering overhead.
My friend and I had both worked in advertising and we wondered who was sponsoring it.
Then we both figured it was a drone from the feds. Creepy to learn we were probably right.

Too bad they don't use hydrogen anymore. Heh ...

Distributorcap said...

pretty soon it really will be 1984 - everything else is starting to be

Karen Zipdrive said...

I cheked with my friend and she still has pics of the drone on her camera.
I'll try to get her to send them to me so I can share them with you.
Oh, and skip the tinfoiled windows--if they see them I suspect they'll send someone on the ground to investigate.

What's an AMU? American Monetary Unit or something?

Comrade Misfit said...

AMU = Aircraft Maintenance Unit; a thousand dollars.
