Man Accused of Selling US Military Drones On EBay 182
garymortimer writes "47-year-old Henson Chua is in a bit of trouble for trying to sell a RQ-11B 'Raven' Unmanned Aerial Vehicle on eBay. From the article: 'A federal grand jury in Tampa returned an indictment charging Henson Chua, 47, of Manilla, Philippines, with violations of the Arms Export Control Act and smuggling, following an investigation by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations. If convicted on all counts, Chua faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.'" I'm kicking myself for missing this auction.

Yes. With a camera.
And a 6 mile range. And a ceiling of 15,000 feet. And speed up to 60 mph.
And autonomous GPS navigation.
Probably you didn't have a plane like that when you were a kid.
