When Amazon boss Jeff Bezos announced last December he was moving ahead with plans to use drones for delivering packages to customers, many observers dismissed his idea as a cheap publicity stunt.

Despite the fact that he already had a prototype to show off, as well as a video showing how the service might work, it seemed to many that unveiling the proposed service the day before Cyber Monday was merely an attempt to get Amazon’s name in the headlines during a critical period for e-tailers, and that talk of the idea would simply fade away over time.

In a recent letter to shareholders, however, Bezos makes it clear that not only is there a team of engineers currently working on developing the ‘Prime Air’ delivery drone, but that it’s actually been very busy indeed.

It's all fun and games until those packages turn into AAM and their HD cameras get hijacked by pretty much anybody who knows their way around CCTV networks. Albeit difficult, I bet you could hijack the high RF signals used to communicate with those things. Possibilities from there are endless.
