1. These could be shot out of the sky with a slingshot and a rock

and nobody would ever find a bullet.

4. I'd hate to be standing in the wrong place

When are people going to say enough is enough? Phones tapped, movements monitored, and now eyes in the sky.

This is a test run, and don't be suprised when it comes to a city near you.
