Really Disturbing Thought

This comic from Abstruse Goose scared the hell out of me. For those who do not know,

• GoPro is a company that sells sturdy high definition digital cameras that many people have been using to capture extreme sports.
• Occulus Rift is a company that sells virtual reality goggles. The company has recently been bought by Facebook.
• Drones or quadcopters are very stable VTOL capable helicopters powered by 4 rotors. There are many companies that sell these drones.

It occurred to me that combining these three readily available off the shelf products and you can essentially build a small and quiet, remotely driven aircraft that military organizations all over the world has been using for remote surveillance or worse, as a remotely operated weapons platform.

Which means that anyone with two to three thousand dollars to spare can now easily purchase the parts necessary to build a remotely controlled, highly stable VTOL capable craft that can be equipped with some kind of weapon. This is a really, really bad idea that's just turned in to a practical reality.
