1. Scary to think

that such smart and destructive technology could easily get into the hands of terrorists too. I preferred the days when they were attempting to manufacture dirty bombs or shoe bombs that were often ineffective, although we all wish the damned terrorists wouldn't exist at all.

But at $6,000 a pop, they can now get their hands on this sort of precision device. We continue to march forward with all sorts of technological advances, but stuff like this is a double-edged sword (another tool of war from centuries ago that they might have used instead of a Switchblade).

2. Yes. Especially domestic terrorism. And targeted assassinations. Anywhere.

3. But we are only sending 100

That is a paltry amount.

4. From what I've see of this device is that it's more of an anti personel device.

The problem now seems to be artillery hitting the cities. Could the switchblade (named b/c the way the wings pop out like a switchblade knife) take out a large cannon?
Maybe if it was aimed at the ammunition of the cannon.. little boom to make a big boom.
that would leave a mark...
