I told you weâd be seeing more of this kind of thing:
Face it, thereâs nothing anyone can do to stop drug smuggling robots. Theyâre just gonna get cheaper and more sophisticated. You canât chase them because theyâre faster than you. You canât shoot them down because youâll miss and your bullets will land in a school yard miles away. And you canât fingerprint them because theyâll kick your ass.
Pretty much the only way to stop drug smuggling robots from wreaking major havoc is to legalize drugs.
A toy helicopter is believed to have been used in an attempt to smuggle drugs into a prison.
Guards at Elmley Prison in Sheerness, Kent, spotted the remote control miniature aircraft flying over the walls of the jail and heading for the accommodation blocks one night after it was picked up by CCTV cameras.
It had a small load beneath the fuselage, thought to contain drugs.
The toy or its cargo was not found. [Daily Mail]
