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.

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.

AMU = Aircraft Maintenance Unit; a thousand dollars.
