ReasonsVentriloquist: Ever since a guy flying a camera-equipped model airplane discovered a slaughter house turning a creek bloody red in violation of the law, the corporate newspapers and TV have referred to radio-controlled sports models as drones. Research by the long extinct Mesquite Mad Modelers (for possible movie special effects, never built) showed that models could be made to carry small bombs creating realistic explosions (which is more than diesel-fueled movie explosions do). Songbird-sized recon drones have been used to compile dossiers on peaceful protesters for at least two years.
