This kind of effort will go a long way towards accelerating adoption of this tech (a province of activity that used to be exclusively owned by the national militaries). Not long before we see some viral videos of:
- spy/detective work (i.e. cheating husband caught in the act via video from second story window).
- real harassment of a celebrity, political, or business tycoon.
- drones with payloads/armament delivering destruction to inert targets.
The speed at which this tech shows up within open source warfare is a function of the above.
