Moonbat paranoia over "dragonfly" spybots

We see this WaPo story about anti-war protesters waxing paranoid about being spied on by some sort of govt skunkworks spybots in the form of dragonflies. As if anybody gives a shit about their protests...

..."I'd never seen anything like it in my life," the Washington lawyer said. "They were large for dragonflies. I thought, 'Is that mechanical, or is that alive?' "

That is just one of the questions hovering over a handful of similar sightings at political events in Washington and New York. Some suspect the insectlike drones are high-tech surveillance tools, perhaps deployed by the Department of Homeland Security...

I rather think someone is messing with their minds cashing in on the inherent paranoia of the moonbat mentality. I bet the prankster(s) are using something like this that's commonly available as a toy from the PRC. Pics below the fold.
