Flocks of robotic seagulls will soon be spying on U.S. citizens

The Air Force has the University of Florida developing a companion to the Predator and Global Hawk drones, a shape-shifting robotic seagull.

"The plane is a step toward tiny military drones that can soar over cities and dive between buildings to shoot surveillance photos, test for chemical or biological weapons or perform other tasks."

Yikes. An Air Force seagull-bot drone designed to fly though alleys and parking garages, spy on innocent citizens, and perform other duties as assigned. Hmmm. How should I feel about this? Are droids subject to the Posse Comitatus? (Bird flies overheard)...I, for one, welcome our new Gull-bot Overlords.
