content: I see this as a double edged sword.  This kind of technology is not "new" to the military-industrial complex, it's only "new" to consumer mass production devices.  It may seem at first blush to provide staggering capabilities to ordinary citizens (or non-state sponsored extremists) but I would bet that there are built-in telemetries and known ways to defeat or subvert the devices (back-door type stuff) so that it's not a threat to the military industrial complex.  Indeed, they might be salivating at the thought of these kinds of things being used for small scale "events" that justify even bigger defense budgets.  It's all about blood money.
