University of California researchers, on a Pentagon contract, announced in January success at rigging a live flower beetle with electrodes and a radio receiver to enable scientists to control the insect's flight remotely. Pulses sent to the bug's muscles or optic lobes can command it to take off, turn left or right, or hover, according to a report in MIT Technology Review, and the insect's "large" size (up to a whopping four inches in length) would enable it to also carry a camera, giving the beetle military uses such as surveillance or search and rescue. The researchers admired the native flight-control ability of the beetle so much that they abandoned developing robot beetles (which required trying to mimic nature).

Are you suggesting they rigged the terrorist to fly the planes like they rigged these bees to remotely fly? Ok I thought we ran out of different 911 conspiracies…My hat off to you sir…

S & F wow this is very interesting I remember reading something about a similar procedure being preformed on a rat but obviously this is much more useful.

However, kind of scary as well.

no I'm not but that would be cool. Not cool in a real life way but very trippy to imagine.
