Spy Bugs

I'm watching Fox right now, and there have been "insect drones" seen flying around mass protests. Police State? We're a step closer now...
Sorry for the double post, but that's just mindblowing.

Update: What the heck?!
"Some federally funded teams are even growing live insects with computer chips in them, with the goal of mounting spyware on their bodies and controlling their flight muscles remotely."
later on...
"In one approach, researchers funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are inserting computer chips into moth pupae -- the intermediate stage between a caterpillar and a flying adult -- and hatching them into healthy 'cyborg moths.'"
and then...
"'I don't want people to get paranoid, but what can I say?' Fearing said. 'Cellphone cameras are already everywhere. It's not that much different.'"

First, isn't it wrong to manipulate creatures in such a way?
Second, cell phone cameras and bug robots are different. Cellphones don't blend into the environment.
