Carrier pigeons? On my commute this morning, while dodging a flock of Canada Geese that live in park, I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to ship illegal items via migrating birds. I had to ponder how much cocaine, or other illicit substance, a goose could carry. And if the shipment didn't make it, does the bird get whacked?

Anyway, if you're face-to-face with someone they still tracked both of your positions to/from the meeting and used cameras in the area to run facial recognition. Then they transcribed the convo to text by hijacking area mics or using the cameras for speech recognition.

If you're really important they'll land a tiny UAV on your person and literally 'bug' you. Better to just stay inside and keep your waste in mason jars...

There was also the case of the prisoners smuggling cell phones into prison via pigeons.

Thanks for the link! I Googled this half-heartedly this morning while cleaning out my inbox but didn't have time to sift through the results. Funny stuff!
