PHOENIX - The most emailed story on Yahoo! Tuesday morning has to do with the Pentagon pouring millions of dollars into creating tiny drones no bigger than hummingbirds.
This isn’t a joke. It takes just seconds to find video of something called the "Nano Hummingbird" on YouTube.
Check it out in the below video.
The thought is the government could use the technology to spy, but also locate people trapped in rubble following earthquakes.
There are also bug-sized spy cams in the works. It sounds pretty cool, but some are worried these devices won't just be used to spy on potential terrorists and could be used to spy on everyday people.
