I wonder how long before the military adapts it as a "Launchable" camera? Fired over hideouts and bunkers to see what / who and how many insurgents are behind.

anything is throwable (once).

It's droppable and reusable that matter. Look how carefully they throw it!

Nice though

Thanks for that!

I was thinking more of a model that transmitted the pictures by RF than needing collecting and plugging in by USB!

Would the insurgents just throw it back and then look at the pictures of you?

Not if it was destructive, and only if they were clever enough to get the same frequency and encryption.
