THIS is a DRONE?!

Got this in an email:

"Is this a mosquito? No. It's an insect spy drone for urban areas, already in production, funded by the US Government. It can be remotely controlled and is equipped with a camera and a microphone.

It can land on you, and it may have the potential to take a DNA sample or leave RFID tracking nanotechnology on your skin. It can fly through an open window, or it can attach to your clothing until you take it in your home."

I dunno. I know they can make minuscule surveillance gadgets, but how do they make such a thing fly? And what's to stop someone from giving it a good smack and sending it to nanotech heaven anyway?
