This is definitely one of a kind gadget for your iPhone, i still can't believe if this one is for real. It looks really nice, it is going to be one of the best selling accessories, but again i am not sure if it would be available for an 'affordable' rate.

Wow, you americans are all so brave now, at least after some years without a succesful attack on your “homeland”.
Afraid of terror? No way! How times have changed.. right after 911 americans were so terrified they were ven afraid to get near high-rise buildings or trash-bins, for fear of explosives

Oh, I forgot to mention the FAILED attempt of C4 pants. Drug dealers have been smuggling drugs on commercial airliners for decades. Now we wait for spineless suicide bombers to smuggle bombs.

Until Homeland Security strip searches, cavity searches, full body x-rays and prohibits luggage to fly with passengers, I guess we will all have to live with that thought that something could happen.

Surely I digress. Maybe a terrorist could fly this new gadget around the plane and make us all duck…

Wow…
You have me convinced. RC technology has been and is capable of many things. This little device for your iPhone is not capable of many things. Hence HotSauce’s sarcasm.

“If I read something other than tech blogs.” Successful troll is successful.
Your link to Wikipedia has me convinced you have done your homework. Shall I link all mine?
Any modern RC device, Heli, Plane, Car can all carry things on them. Weight limited. Why the problem? You only mentioned plastic explosives, aren’t there other dangerous things a RC vehicle could deliver? Like a million scorpions or a bunch of baby spiders?

Stop listening to fear and think for yourself! Otherwise, the terrorists get what they want, Terror.

Actually, in the 90′s I wondered why terrorists wouldn’t use passenger planes as a weapon. Apparantly, keeping mum about it didn’t help.

“With it’s immense payload capability, it might be able to carry an M80 or Cherry Bomb and totally inflict all kinds of havok.”

If you had read something other than tech blogs, you might have known that Abdulmutalibaba from Flight 253 didn´t need any immense capability, just underwear.

“After all there are no other remote control helicopters or planes available to terrorists just yet.”

Nope, until now rc helicopters with outdoor capability and built/in camera were very difficult to get.
Have you even read the article? How it’s a “retail spy drone” comparable with “military drones experimented with at MIT”?

Governments don’t spend millions to develop drones without a reason. You’re a fool if you think terrorist are not interested in this technology.

You know, You’re absolutely right. With it’s immense payload capability, it might be able to carry an M80 or Cherry Bomb and totally inflict all kinds of havok. After all there are no other remote control helicopters or planes available to terrorists just yet. Man, I could see it now, all those chic Jihadists with their trendy iPhones…
