This is the future. According to some uncertain estimates, insect-sized drones will become operational by 2030.
These drones will be able to not only conduct surveillance, but to act on it with lethal effect. Over time, it is likely that miniaturized weapons platforms will evolve to be able to carry not merely the quantum of lethal material needed to execute individuals, but also weapons of mass destruction sufficient to kill thousands. Political scientist James Fearon has ven speculated that at some more distant point in time, individuals will be able to carry something akin to a nuclear device in their pockets. - Gabriella Blum
