Heck, I was planning to send up a drone that would hit those plasma junk heaps with a blast of EMP...

That will fix 'em  ::)

About a month ago I was listening to pirate SW out in my backyard and a drone was flying around my yard. It zipped away when it noticed me checking it out. I haven't seen it since then.

I've heard stories about drones flying about with mini-cameras on board checking out the Ladies sun bathing... 

Now whom in our little group would do such a thing?  Not I because I got my own little Lady to look at...  so who could it be?  Any ideas???
