Do you suspect your neighbors might be hatching a plot to overthrow the government? Concerned that Al-Qaeda may have just set up a headquarters down the street? Before you call the Department of Homeland Security’s terrorist activity hotline, confirm your suspicions with one of these: the Micro Butterfly from Plantraco Microflight. Yes, for $149.99 you can have your very own, radio controlled plane with a tiny wingspan of just 3.5″. Add on a miniature voice transmitter for $35-80, and help keep our nation safe from terrorists.

Seriously, when we read about the Micro Butterfly in Charlie White’s DViCE post, we thought it was pretty cool. And we dug the video on YouTube, too (see below). But commenter @jay trini really opened our eyes to the possibilities here. After all, this seems far easier and cheaper than those spy pigeons we’ve been sending to Iran lately.
